Many Things Wrong With 2016 MacBook Pro Part 2

This might become a little series, since (as the title stats) there are many things wrong with 2016 MacBook Pro. I know most people don't want to see my ranting and spread negative energies. But what I am showing you now just doesn't add up.

Take a look:

Take a good look at this, make sure you are seeing what I have underlined and circled. 

Yes that's right, that's a freaking computer with dual-core i5 and 8 GB of RAM selling for $2,000

Last time a i5 that has a dual-core was back in 2010! 

Also, when a computer that cost up to $2,000, people expects at least 16 GB of RAM, not a 8GB. And what annoys me more is that better RAMs doesn't even cost much more. 

Besides that, you may argue the SSD is expansive, I agree. For 500GB, it costs $315

All the expansive components added up, it's only $510

All the prices are from Amazon.com, the parts are all after-market, so a company like Apple sell mass-produced computers, it is most likely to be much cheaper than $510. 

This is clearly unacceptable.

Here is the best alternative that cost few hundreds of dollars less, and much more powerful.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (much better)

1TB HDD with 256GB SSD
15-inch g-sync panel with wide viewing angles

starting price: $1,400
Highest model: $1,680
