and its STILL insultingly expensive for what it is.
A laptop with one of the worst modern keyboards with a dated ARM phone soc.. Where have I heard that before.
If the pinebook can exist for $200 in tiny volumes, the macbook with its massive production volume is absolutely a slap in the face. The BOM on that thing can't be more than $200-250 even with the wasteful packaging and marketing.
That should be filling the $399 space the eee pc laptops did. The costs should have diminished down by now.
Huh? The CPU has still one of the highest single core performance benchmarks on the market, especially considering it's fanless. The keyboard is also really good as they got rid of the butterfly in 2019, it is unfortunate, it has no backlight, and RAM is limited to 8 gigabytes. Otherwise, a good deal with how good the screen and speakers are, and solid aluminum build quality
Gee mister I bet you sure do love paying phat margins on commodity goods.
To quote Allan Sugar, you've bought in to the mugs eyeful.
Nah, I buy used ThinkPads for cheap.
