Thé surface until 8 included run Linux amazingly. That one thing you have yo give to microslop it know how to make Linux shine. Look for the project surface linux these guys are amazing.

https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface makes most of the features "just work" in mainstream distros on these devices.

In the laptop that can also be a decent tablet sometimes space, the brand still does really well, though most people are probably fine with tablet that can be a decent laptop sometimes. Hopefully mobile linux projects like mobian and postmarketos allow the later idea have more than iOS and Android as viable options soon.

What do you run Linux on?

let me guess... it's got less processing power than an iPod Nano.

and its STILL insultingly expensive for what it is.

A laptop with one of the worst modern keyboards with a dated ARM phone soc.. Where have I heard that before.

If the pinebook can exist for $200 in tiny volumes, the macbook with its massive production volume is absolutely a slap in the face. The BOM on that thing can't be more than $200-250 even with the wasteful packaging and marketing.

That should be filling the $399 space the eee pc laptops did. The costs should have diminished down by now.
