Looks pretty cool. I feel they got some features right for their target demographics:
- 2 fun colors + 2 regular
- The Magic Keyboard looks like it has a decent amount of travel and should hold up well
- Headphone port, recognizing that wired headphones are way more durable in a classroom setting
- Decent price and display, though I wonder about performance w/ Tahoe
I don't currently have a modern macOS machine, so a basic machine like this could be useful to have around even though I daily drive Linux now. Maybe it'll get Asahi support!
I wonder, if Asahi get's ported to this, would that potentially open the door for Asahi on an A18 powered iPhone? Or are those secure-booted too hard?
iPhones would require an exploit.
A bootloader exploit at that, and we haven't had one of those in years.
iPhones have a locked bootloader. Unless a really solid exploit is found (unlikely) this won’t happen.
