$1000 gets you a powerful high end laptop in terms of hardware. You might be sacrificing build quality at that price though, but you can get good specs for that

- ant6n 11y ago...and on the software side, you don't even have sysadmin access
- derefr 11y agoOr, from the opposed perspective, you're paying Apple to do your sysadmin tasks for you. (Really, you do have sysadmin access, if you care enough. My iPhone has a profile on it put there by my [big, enterprise-y] employer, which gives them the ability to do pretty much whatever they want—including side-loading applications. I'm surprised nobody has used the "corporate-owned device" method to build an App store yet.)
- igravious 11y agoI'm not invested in the Apple ecosystem any more. Is this true? Being trying to find a link to some authoritative info on this but haven't thus far. Do you mean this? http://www.apple.com/iphone/business/it/management.html http://www.apple.com/iphone/business/it/management.html I see no mention of being able to side-load apps.
- pinaceae 11y agoBusiness use a dev license, then deploy their own apps via side-loading. Standard practice by now. And "own" apps is becoming a very loose definition, 3rd party develops, then signs with corp key.
- MichaelGG 11y agoThinkPad X series is about that much. (It used to be $2000 but they've come down in price.) Quality is far higher than a MacBook (doesn't burn my skin, has an acceptable keyboard, has buttons to click).
