Misleading post headline - article says $100 million .

This right here. Everyone in this thread is looking for MBP use cases or a Linux PC or a second daily driver from a device that is CLEARLY designed to take foothold in the classroom. The $499 price point goes even lower for volume EDU sales. The company is not going to explicitly position this as a classroom device - it’s inherent through its spec limitations and even its packaging.

Now it’s a matter of how delicately they promote it with third party learning management tools, Google Classroom, Canvas, etc, or MDMs.

Watching this closely. They’ve been looking to shed the pacifist overtones for the last couple years. Don’t be surprised if this becomes a trend everywhere but the U.S.

Even if democrats in America maintained a shoo-in two term POTUS, supermajority in both chambers, 40 governors, and 7-2 on SCOTUS, they’d spend so much time pre-optimizing and planning and bickering over special interests that they’d lose the control before any change could occur. Whereas the GOP asks “why change the constitution, when we can just wholesale ignore it?”
