I doubt it would be cheap enough to compete with most Chromebooks, and the depending on how you spec it the 12" MacBook and the 13" MacBook pro without touchbar already compete with the high end Chromebooks like the Pixelbook
- duxup 8y agoYou might be right about the first part.... but I don't think if Apple were worried about Chromebooks that they'd be concerned with the Pixelbook... more so the educational market eating up the low cost Chromebooks.
- wilsonnb3 8y agoApple is hugely concerned about low cost Chromebooks eating the educational market, but it's because they want them to be using iPads not Macs. Releasing the $329 dollar 2017 iPad was a direct response to Chromebooks in the educational market. It was actually a rather unusual product for Apple. It replaced the iPad Air 2 and did have a newer processor, but saved on cost by being thicker than the Air 2 and lacking a laminated screen. For reference, the Air 2 was the first iPad to have a laminated screen and the current iPad Pro models still do.
