It makes sense. Apple is always looking to create the most minimalist computers possible. What could be more minimalist than a keyboard that plugs into a monitor via USB-C?

This could easily be a return to a $500 entry level computer for Apple. Will they do it? Who knows. It might not have the margins or volume they are looking for, but it also could a great entry point to introduce people to the Mac.

If they want to continue their push into services then having more entry level devices might make sense. They already sell Apple TV which starts at $149 so there is a precedent for lower cost devices.
