@The_Joker13 Well do you have any evidence to the contrary? I am sorry but these forums aren’t scientific journals, I am basing this off of past experience in retail and the margin basis of retail products. Margins on most products are about the same, typically 30-40% on most high ticket items including computers, unless they are on sale. Thus if an item is priced lower for the consumer, (excluding sale prices) it’s reasonable to assume that the cost is lower as well.
So no I don’t have intimate knowledge of the costs of all the Surface and Apple products, but there is logic in the way pricing models work in retail.
But there is no need to be snarky and sarcastic about my opinion. If you want to give reasons and legitimate proof that I’m wrong then be my guest, I’ll listen and gladly accept if I am wrong, but otherwise you’re just being rude and disrespectful.
