let me guess... it's got less processing power than an iPod Nano.

Not really sure how big of a difference it makes but isn't the memory on the Neo on the same die as the processor? The A18 Pro is also likely a lot of old binned chips that they've been collecting for a year. I wouldn't be surprises if this completely isolated them from the rising memory costs. Apple really lucked out on the timing of their release. Not that the Neo wouldn't have been an amazing value regardless either way.

And it uses literally the same exact hardware as the iPhone 🤣

and its STILL insultingly expensive for what it is. A laptop with one of the worst modern keyboards with a dated ARM phone soc.. Where have I heard that before. If the pinebook can exist for $200 in tiny volumes, the macbook with its massive production volume is absolutely a slap in the face. The BOM on that thing can't be more than $200-250 even with the wasteful packaging and marketing. That should be filling the $399 space the eee pc laptops did. The costs should have diminished down by now.
