I have owned many throwaway laptops, and get a nice lenovo thinkpad or dell ($2k retail) from work every 3 years. I know laptops. The macbooks I have at home continue to work well past the cheapo laptops I have had, even the thinkpads. My daughter is still using our 2010 Macbook pro...
10 years of use out of a laptop I paid $700 for. That's value, anyway you slice it. Stop talking like you somehow know more than others, or you are the arbiter of what value is.
Fit and finish:
You're getting a machined aluminum casing with virtually zero flex to it, an unscrewed non-butterfly scissor switch keyboard which is supposed to be very good, well balanced hinges which allow for single handed opening, and plenty of other minor details which are nice.
Tech specs:
Yeah, this laptop may be a little light in specs on paper, but several reviews, such as the ones from Max Tech on YouTube, show that the laptop performs reasonably well in most tasks, including photo editing, and even video editing. Naturally, if you're going to be doing heavy 4K video editing all the time, you'd probably want a spec or model bump. Still, this apparently will edit and export 4K just fine, though a little slower than the $1799 model.
Speakers... No one mentions speakers on a laptop. Again, I don't like Apple, but their laptop speakers make all other laptop speakers sound like trash. It's true, and I don't like saying it.
How about the display on the 2020 base model 13" MacBook Pro? You get a DCI-P3 color accurate screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1600, and 500 nits of brightness. That's a damn good screen for creative professionals at the sale price of $1099. Sure, I/O sucks on MacBooks, but the two USB-C ports support Thunderbolt 3, which greatly expands the laptop's potential.
You also get a Touchbar. This may be a con for many people, including myself because I use Function keys a lot, but this is still added tech which other laptops don't have. I can see creative professionals customizing shortcuts on this, and making it fairly useful.
This might not be a bad "wait and see" laptop to pick up at the price point if you don't need the extra RAM, and graphics boost of the $1799 model. Could always just sell this one when the ARM transition happens and upgrade if necessary.
Best of luck to anyone who is shopping for tech right now.

It is trash in spec per price. One can easily have a better laptop for 1100+. This apple logo is expensive
Look at the specs. It's sickening how outdated it is. This is a 500 dollar laptop in terms of parts.

this is really worth only 500 dollar laptop sorry apple the logo is too expensive 100% markup.
But you didnt think about : premium metal body build, run smooth and cool all the time, Apple have to pay for their software team to make macOS to run that smooth too. You just mention all the bad side of apple but forgot about their good side
He forgot to add all the free software that comes with it too. Free Mac office. That alone is a couple hundred bucks.

Same here. I like being able to upgrade the ssd and other components on it. Sure, it doesn't benchmark close to the current models, but it just works. Good enough for now.
Also would you buy applecare if you purchased from Costsco with their Citi Visa? You get 4 years of warranty so they say.

My Mac air from 2015 is still running perfectly. A bit slow to load Pages or Numbers, but not an all out spinning wheel debacle that non-Apple people would expect.
1k for Sub-latest specs in a device engineered to work as a cohesive unit, AND: the best track pad on the planet? From Costco? I'd consider it. I'm not Apple devout, but you are paying for engineering and not just a bunch of parts thrown into a laptop
