> they used to be priced at roughly 3x markup compared to the market

Were they though? With comparable displays and build quality, I think their laptops have been competitive with the upper end of the market for a while now, with maybe a 10-20% markup on that.

fair, if you wanted good build good luck finding one outside of apple

I was more mad at the general markup relative to similar intel chips in say a Dell or HP ultralight

With their price I buy instead Thinkpad graphical workstations, no laptop CPU/GPU combo on Apple's side can match them.
