It would be nice if this thing was just a monitor and not a 27” quasi iPad. Of course, that would take away all the bells and whistles from all its users, but at least then it might have been, say, a thousand dollars. Apple could have also saved a few bucks by not making all users pay the overheads of manufacturing the three separate main bodies required to facilitate their ridiculously bad design choice vis-à-vis stand-gate.
I get that great displays don’t come cheap, but this thing feels like they decided to make it as expensive as humanly possible. It should have been a monitor, not a hybrid computer. Feels like an odd product to me that also cuts its potential market in half by making its price unjustifiable to most Windows PC users. But then, Apple being Apple, they just price gouge everyone in order to make profit regardless. Kind of like a brute force approach to making money instead of intelligent design.
Plus, all that, and they couldn’t even be bothered to find a way to securely implement FaceID into it after telling us MacBook Pros don’t have it because the lid is too thin.
