  • Then you are off-topic as well.

    No. Pelespirit asked about Jolla which is mentioned in the article posts's text body. I gave context for Jolla's Android compatibility. It's 100% on topic.

    /e/OS is based on LineageOS.

    And: "The Android compatibility layer of SailfishOS is based on AOSP, so the stack to get the most important 3rd party apps working relies as much on AOSP as any Android ROM."

  • I don’t see it really as a downside compared to Android, since no OEM is running clean AOSP.

    This article is about Fairphone with /e/OS, not some other OEM with a proprietary Android variant.

  • Are there any downsides to this? There has to be, right.

    SailfishOS userland is proprietary software. AOSP is more open than SailfishOS. The Android compatibility layer of SailfishOS is based on AOSP, so the stack to get the most important 3rd party apps working relies as much on AOSP as any Android ROM.

    Upside of SailfishOS: There is a decent chance that the upcoming Linux ARM version of Steam + Proton will run directly on that device.

  • Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599

    Jump

  • Could you give examples?

    AMD, Intel. To a lesser degree Qualcomm. (I wrote platform designer, not notebook manufacturer.)

    I don’t really understand which models to look at specifically.

    As long as it's without NVidia graphics and WiFi/Bluetooth not by Broadcom, it should be alright.

  • Relevant because Neo has it built in.

    The difference in manufacturing cost compared to the iPad Air is pocket change, way less than a M4 CPU would cost. It's just Apple ripping off its customers as usual.

  • How about a travel bag to hold all this extra equipment?

    Completely irrelevant to the topic that Apple the cost of the Neo is not reasonable.

  • Did you read the post?

    You replied to my post and I compared Apple hardware to Apple hardware.

  • How much for a 13" display to match the real estate of the Neo display?

    Look up the costs of 11" and 13" HiDPI displays and subtract the costs yourself. I'm sure you can do it. I bought an excellent 14" external HiDPI USB C monitor for 40 Euro recently.

  • A18 Pro? Intel? Neither CPU is used in the MacBook Neo nor the 599 iPad.

  • indeed does seem to be false.

    That's from 5 years ago. Let's look what Apple themselves say about that topic:

  • you have to spend $270 on a keyboard/trackpad regardless

    That's Apple tax, not manufacturing cost. MacBook replacement keyboards sell for 10 dollars on Aliexpress.

    iOS/iPadOS puts OS-level limits on how much you can even take advantage of that hardware even if there is an iOS app for the thing you want to do

    I'm comparing hardware to hardware, not artificial Apple software restrictions.

  • How about a keyboard that is similar to the Neo keyboard?

    10 dollars and that's retail, not manufacturing cost.

    A 5-pack of USB C ports costs about one dollar on Aliexpress.

  • Isn’t it about 40% cheaper than the M4 CPU macbook ?

    It's 100% the same price as another portable M4 computer sold by Apple

  • Please enlighten me then, if you don’t mind. Are there some good benchmarks out there that show the Inadequacies of the A18 chip?

    I found several after only 30 seconds of googling, including Apple fans' favorite benchmark: Geekbench multicore where the A18 is about 40% slower.

  • The MacBook doesn't have a touchscreen. It cancels the keyboard cost out.

    They don't even put touch ID on the entry model.
