This really flips the argument that Mac hardware is overpriced and underpowered on its head. Now Apple computers are a premium product from a performance perspective, as well.

So performant premium that I’m thinking of calling Apple about my MBP preorder and switching it to the Air.

Last thing I need is a MacBook Air equivalent with an unnecessarily loud and annoying fan.

Yeah, they only put the fan in MBP to annoy people, of course. It has zero use. Go order the Macbook Air and have fun. Maybe you can fry your breakfast eggs on it too.
