Not excited at all. Mobile OSes are crippled by design, especially iOS, so why would I spend this much when I can just get a real computer with a very similar form factor? Mobile OSes are fundamentally designed for quick, limited interaction use cases like ordering an Uber car or checking a web site, not for "real work."
I'm sure someone will buy it, but I don't predict it'll be very big.
- webXL 11y agoJust like the top of line products from any company. They fill a niche, and they're more about gaining a competitive edge than they are about generating tons of profit. You see one in a coffee shop, go to the store (instead of a competitor's) and see the price, and walk out with an Air 2.
- api 11y agoGood point about total coverage. Apple probably does not want any gaps in their lineup that might be filled by Microsoft or Google or any other vendor. I would just by a small form factor ultraportable laptop, but yeah -- it's about brand penetration.
