have you ever wanted laptop components in a way less convenient form factor?
what if i were to tell you it costs more than rent?
what if i were to also tell you it's intentionally underpowered so we don't have to actually innovate with "new" iterations that will cost even more than this one and you'll eventually be forced to buy one because we arbitrarily decide when your device is too old and will no longer allow you to update anything on it and can't use it anymore unless you use openCORE, which you as a normal person probably don't know how to do?
You can call Apple Silicon a lot of things but "not performant" isn't one of them. In laptops they've demolished Windows offerings for years (Lunar Lake is only just now trading blows with M3), and in desktops I don't think you're getting any better CPU performance at that price point (especially considering it comes with a 4k monitor).
The caveat is GPU and gaming performance, but people really shouldn't expect much from integrated graphics.
