Interesting, I have used Samsung 5K displays for a year or two with my Mac Studio, and recently bought an Studio Display after one died. I am SO much happier with the studio display, it powers on so much faster, the black is much more "black", etc. The built-in camera is also really good.

I'm almost considering getting rid of the other two Samsung displays and replacing them with Studio Displays because it's just so much better.

Apple will be head and shoulders better than the Samsung display - it just costs more than you feel like it should.

Well yeah but that’s the case with all Apple products, not?

Not the laptops.

Isn’t that equally subjective as, say, the price of the iPhone?

It just depends on what you value. A MBP with 32GB memory and 2TB disk is much more expensive than a Dell equivalent.

(I say this as someone who owns a MBP)

Dell laptop hardware doesn't really match MBP hardware - objectively.

I don't think there exists a laptop with a similar value proposition as a MacBook Neo or a MacBook Air?

For phones its not as clear, I agree, but at least they added iPhone 17e starting at $599.
