The same reason why someone would spend $1500 for a phone that they only gonna use for TikTok. (well except if you got it for free with carrier contract)

We can expect to see this trend be adopted by other brands too

McDonald's sells land, Apple is a marketing firm.
They always compare new devices to really old devices. It's 4x faster than something that came out years ago, so it's actually 0.3x faster than last year's model.

Their marketing team shall be fired. They're comparing the performance of the latest M4 chip to the four-generations-old M1, which is hardly a fair comparison. Recently, they also claimed the iPhone 16e has the best battery life among 6.1-inch iPhones—while conveniently stacking it against the six-year-old iPhone 11.
I have nothing against MacBooks—they're fast, well-optimized, lightweight, and offer great battery life, build quality, design, a comfortable keyboard, excellent speakers, a stunning display, and a solid webcam. While there are some software trade-offs and limitations for business use, including glitches in popular meeting platforms, they make up for it in other areas.

Yup, you can now say goodbye to having last generation's chip for that pure $100 less.
