This model is absolutely short-circuiting the brains of the Apple haters. It upends everything they’ve been complaining about for a decade; all the same arguments that had merit 10 years ago but were mostly resolved 5 years ago (meanwhile, little said about the things Apple currently is terrible about.)

This laptop is:

• cheap
• repairable
• runs a full os

It is not:

• upgradable, but what laptop is these days.

Seriously, it address three of the biggest complaints against Apple historically, and we’re supposed to be mad the phone doesn’t runs desktop OS? Was under the impression the phone didn’t run a full OS because of technical limitations?

Apple could’ve launched a $599 laptop that ran iPadOS, but they didn’t and yet there’s still complaints.
