Glyph@miss_rodent The blue one is already pretty sedate and would not look out of place in a highly businessy-business context. There are definitely jobs where I could *imagine* it would be a winner. Like if you're a caseworker and you need something ultra-portable which can browse a single web page that can fill out a form on the go. Maybe a repair tech or something.
@miss_rodent But it starts to disappear into this weird niche with better options on both sides. Like you'd have to be an an industry that cares a ton about margins and is looking for a bargain. But doesn't care SO much about margins that they'd send their people out with a beige shitbox from some bulk Windows or Chromebook vendor.
@miss_rodent You'd have to care about portability but not that much about ruggedness. You'd have to care about a "laptop" form factor, but not be bothered by the fact that if you had Thunderbolt hot-desking gear at your headquarters it wouldn't work with any of that and you'd need to carefully make sure everything was USB-C/USB-3.0 compatible.
@miss_rodent You'd need to care about the versatility of having full-fat macOS but not *so* much about versatility that you need your employees to do anything with >4GB of RAM.
K-12 schools hit every single one of these points and I could *imagine* a business that also does but I don't know anyone who *actually* works for one
