When I purchased a laptop last year I went with MSI:

32GB RAM 1TB SSD 4080 12GB 3 USBC 2 USB3.2

$2100 CAD.

My only complaint was Windows 11 which was immediately rectified. Though not before having a full screen Xbox Live ad that couldn't be closed through any means.

Since removing MS the laptop functions perfectly, runs models locally without any fuss and powers any game I want at 4k60hz or 3k144hz(1440p).

What is the reason for the high pricing of Surface models?

With all due respect, the difference in looks between the Surfaces and your laptop is justification enough.

I mean this sincerely. People are willing to pay for good design.

Makes sense. I like how mine looks (dark grey with purple lit keys) so that was never a thought for me.

Apple has built their entire company with people paying for good design.
