> So their entry level machines are a great deal -- you get the quality of a 5000€ machine for just 2500€ if you can live with limited storage.

It sounds really weird to talk about 2500 EUR laptop as "entry level".

> They want to offer computers at every price point

They don't offer anything under 1000 EUR.

It's the entry level configuration of that model.

Apple is doing the same as car companies: Make the base price of each model as low as possible and then charge ridiculous sums for extras.
