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?! They have been taking marketshare since the M1 series.

Heck, even iPadOS is gimped so the Mac doesn't get stepped on. Which is a shame because the M1 Air has pretty darn close to the same silicon.
