He launched the Macbook Air gen2. It was arguably the world's best laptop for a few years, at a very low cost (was it $899 or $999 at the base config cost?). This was around 2010-2012 or so. College kids were using the exact same SKU as highly-paid developers or execs. I loved that. During these years, you literally couldn't buy a better compact laptop just by paying more. Also: the low cost allowed us to treat them with less reverence. I went through 2-3 of them over 5 years or so. Nowadays I really hate feeling like like I need to protect that MBP as jewel. A $1k hit never really felt that bad. A $3k hit feels bad.
