Not usually an Apple guy, but it's hard to overstate how smart it is to focus on affordability right now. I feel like having a ~$500 device in the current market is so important. (Especially if it respects your privacy.)
This is the opposite of "own nothing and be happy" and I suspect these things are gonna sell like hotcakes.
Now we just need to get Linux going on them. 🫡
Macs do not respect your privacy. In comparison to windows it's better but they still log and send every application you open to Apple.
Only if you decide to send that telemetry, which is prompted to you clearly and unambiguously.
