In 2011 I bought a laptop with 16GB ram for $2000 (Lenovo W520).

2015, MBP13, 8GB ram I bought for $1900.

2018, MBP13, 16GB, $2200.

2020, MBP13, 32GB, $2500.

Pretty sad improvements for 9 years. But the form factor did improve...



Wow those W520 were heavy. I got a few dumped on me at an old job. They were going to throw them away. I put a few together that I sold for 400 each in 2018, great returns. I didn’t even think they would bring 200
