I think this same computer at 699, or even 799, would have been a total home run for Apple.
599? and if this is anything like the mac mini deals in the high 400s will be possible.
Genuinely great deal for a majority of people.'
I think people who don't think this don't realize how fucking awful cheap pc laptop's still are.
Edu discount makes it $499 for the base model.

Chromebooks are going to get slaughtered. This also takes away from Framework 12 by price-conscious consumers.
Framework advantage is that it’s serviceable. I think that’s its target market more than its price.
