> Better sound is not really a selling point to anyone in the real world.

Have you heard a recent 16" MBPro? They sound great. The Spatial Audio works. Maybe most people don't prioritize it, but it's a real quality of life thing. Same with deep black pixels: you don't know what the experience is worth until you have it. I value it highly.

The screens recently have been very good, but this one is better. Same with the sound. I'm glad it exists because it drives everyone to get better.

Which is why "better than existing macbook pros" isn't a selling point. It's already more than good enough.

The parent comment was saying "better sound" as one of the upgrades you get for the $400, which is a comparison to the currently available macbook pros.

		Call me old fashioned, but I think "this one is even better than the last one, and you already liked that one, so imagine how you're gonna enjoy this one", is indeed a selling point. It's one of the most common and enduring selling points.
