Man, these look great for the price point. Strangely though, lower priced Apple products don’t sell that well. I guess we’ll see.
People who want a low cost option are generally not in the Apple ecosystem because the rest of the products are out of their price range. Then, there’s my husband that hates anything that isn’t Windows because he finds macOS and Linux too much to relearn. These products are coming about now to capture the Gen Alpha kids getting ready for college, who are like 90:100 iPhone and iPad users (in the US).
strange, because in STEM most software is Windows or Linux
No one is going to switch to windows/Linux to run classroom software, especially not instrumentation software. There’s always a terminal PC connected to the instrumentation machine that’s connected to the internet to just send your data to yourself. Gen Alpha kids in the US have been raised on iPads and some are as technologically handicapped as boomers when it comes to desktop OS software.
