I’m sorry the Chromebook competitor isn’t as good as a MacBook Air that costs twice as much.
@joesteel I get the 8gb choice here. USB 2.0 in 2026 though?!
@dnuzum I’m really not sure that anyone in this price range has high IO needs. It can drive a 4K monitor at 60 FPS. It’ll move files if it has to. No one’s buying a $500-$600 computer to connect SSD RAIDs.

@joesteel No, you’re absolutely right and with ‘the cloud’ it mitigates it even further.

I just know people are going to get confused and generate support interactions when one is slower than the other. My company does a LOT of Mac support and putting these next to each other will cause compatibility confusion.
