I believe the MacBook Neo was a real wake-up call for management. Apple dominates the high-budget market. Now that Apple has entered the low-budget market, it could threaten their market share, as well as Copilot’s.

Sub 500 dollar laptops are low budget for new hardware.

Imo $500-700 is squarely midrange when it comes to laptops, the low end is populated with the e-waste that is shitty $200-300 HP laptops

They start at $730 where I live, there are way better alternatives for less.

I agree. They’re getting attacked on two fronts - Linux for the gaming user base and now macOS for the student, education and casual user base. All the while, the professionals and creatives get tempted by Apple hardware increasingly running faster, cooler and melee energy efficient than anything in the Intel/AMD world. It’s Microsoft’s game to lose and boy they sure seem to want to lose it.
I would never have believed it a few years back, but a world where Linux and Mac collectively have a higher market share than Windows could actually be possible. It’s the perfect storm of M-series chips kicking ass, Valve investing so much in Linux, and Microsoft giving the finger to their customers.
