Still too expensive. Chromebooks are $200 and could probably go lower. If you want to compete on quality you must also compete on software/apps. The new Ipad pro would be interesting though, if it where not for the price. Maybe when everyone is going SAAS Apple could go with classic licenses, where software is run on the user machine rather then some very expensive server.
- ghaff 7y agoChromebooks are $200 at the low end. Something like the Pixelbook Go is $600+.
- keymone 7y agoAnd iPhone SE has better specs than pixelbook pretty much all around except ram at the same price. How does that even work?
- bluescrn 7y agoEconomies of scale. A 'high-end Chromebook' is an extremely niche device, they aren't going to sell many.
- danbolt 7y agoI wonder how many $1000 MacBook buyers would actively prefer a $700 version with MacOS.
- ghaff 7y agoAnd the Chromebook has a 13" screen and a keyboard. How does it even really make sense to compare them? It feels a bit like comparing DSLRs to smartphones. Sure, there's some overlap in function but they're not directly comparable.
- keymone 7y agoThe comparison I’m making is that you could rip out internals of chromebook, fit the iPhone inside and have a ton more spare space for other crap. And no fans.
