I think €1,200 is somewhat reasonable considering the device overall. But yes, for a regular laptop with an i5, 16GB RAM and 500 GB SSD, the price would definitely be high.

500GB SSD and 16GB RAM DDR4 costs them less than 90€ combined. The i5 13 certainly is expensive but the overall price seems very inflated, considering there are no costs for Microsoft windows or office either

[–] Alphane_Moon 4 points 3 months ago

i suspect the high price is at least partially due to the low volume of production, economics of scale and all that...
