Right. Which, by my calculations, means it costs half as much as an MBA plus an iPad and their nice keyboard case.
Don't know how much either the iPad or the nice keyboard case cost by themselves, but probably more than 0. So even skipping the nice keyboard case and buying just a naked iPad in addition to the MBA still makes Apple more money.
Why would they forgo this if they're indeed the mustache-twirling capitalists like everyone says?
