Framework provides adequate price to value, what are you saying?
This doesn't have the best value
The MacBook neo is cheaper, faster, and higher quality in every way.
The iPad Mini is cheaper than the Macbook Neo, is more efficient, and has more apps.
Comparing the Machine to the Framework to the Mac is an Apples-to-Grapes-to-Oranges comparison.
Both of them are laptops. The average person buying a laptop basically just needs a web browser and some office tools that will run on either. But they will run better on the macbook neo for less money. It's a no brainer choice right now unfortunately.
Well, let's defer to the market share statistics, as usual. We hear this line every few years, but the market knows what it wants. iPads are almost a larger market than Macbooks, at this point.
Provides some of the worst value for money on the market ($1,049 with no controller, additional $70 for controller): worse than the PS5 ($599), Xbox Series X ($599), Switch 2 ($449), and DIY PCs.
