In my country at least, these are priced at par or higher than Macbooks

Makes zero sense to get a P series when you could get a Macbook

I know, right?

In the US at least, they usually go on sale. If you can manage to get a corporate discount, you can get them at a sane price.

At December, for example, I got a latest P14s at around $1,100 which is OK price for the machine you get.
