alt Hacker NewsI'm not convinced at the insane price at all, you can buy an older model macbook Air and get the full experience at similar prices.
Edit: TBH I'm disappointed, I was hoping for an ultra portable macbook that is less than a kg and extra thin. This is just for the edu market. I'm sure it will do well, financially.

On the refurb market, you can get a Macbook Air at the 16-512 configuration for only a few hundred more, which is a better value.
But! Then you'll be seeing the Neos on the refurb market in the $300 or $400 range.
I think this has basically been how the market for Macs have worked since 2021.
This product will be available in unlimited volumes until they replace it or discontinue it, with no quirks of used/older models.
For an active market-watching technology buyer, sure, think about it.
For 99.5% of the addressable market, click-click-ship-done. No thought required.
What part(s) of the "full experience" are missing in this machine?
