Sadly, the plain MacBook doesn't have a low end price. :)
An upcoming ARM MacBook could be a great machine for a text editor, terminal, and browser, but I fear there will be new user limitations that block customizations like Karabiner and Hammerspoon that I would miss too much.
On the other hand, this has a builtin HDMI port, ethernet port and the capacity for internal expansion (unlike the Macbook), so the performance for external expansion is a lot less relevant.
Who wants to carry around a bunch of overpriced dongles anyway?

I wish somebody would make laptops with high quality screens and low end everything else. Sometimes that's all you need.
Plus, the low end processors often have the best battery life.
