I feel Apple is missing out on the opportunity of taking more marketshare.

I remember the sub $750 2010 Macbook Air 11 inches that weighted 900grams and had a 6h battery. One of my favourite laptops all time and my first Mac.

Today Apple insists on iPads that have extremely limited functionality, and don't really threat MS on entry level laptop market.

What? Apple is still releasing good laptops, m1 makbook air was unmatched for its price for like 2+ years and is still a machine that can last 6-10 hours under workload

I don't think there is touchscreen support still, also not sure if they have a 2in1 option. As well, any non gaming laptop I've used in the past whothehellknowshowlong has had great battery life, even the cheap used convertible Chromebooks I install Windows 11 on have pretty great battery life. Definitely does more than a MacBook Air and for a lot less

Touchscreen, tablet mode.

If I wanted to use the touchscreen, I'd rather get a tablet or use my phone. I would like to see the capability to open actual apps, not just chrome. In this case, even ipad is more capable than chromebooks because it can actually run lots of stuff, even video editing software.

We are talking about Chromebooks running Windows. Not Chromebooks running ChromeOS
