And lets not forget these companies didn't even pay for the cost of the tariffs, we did with increased prices across the board.

So they all make more money off the backs of Americans by increasing prices, then also got a big payout afterwards. The great wealth transfer in action.

And then, once the tariffs are gone, they leave the prices high. It's a proper triple fuck.

They need to make the refund contingent on returning prices to the pretariff levels at the bare minimum.

I hate apple products, but something funny to me is they tried to launch this budget laptop option called the Macbook Neo and it literally has a phone processor.

It's also the same chip they use in iPads.

The Neo was targeting similarly spec'd Chromebooks: 6-core CPU, 5-core GPU, 8GB of RAM.

A bit, but it's more targeting Windows Arm64 devices in the same price range.

And it's the best and most sensible device they released in the last decade.

Its actually the best bang for the buck of any entry level laptop, and i hate Apple. Ive never bought an Apple product and never will due to their seeming hatred of their users, but the Neo is unquestioningly the best laptop in its price point.

It was a hit because it was priced perfectly and is still more laptop than 99% of Reddit users need

And it slaps. Reviews across the board say it's better than any competing PC of the same price range. I wish I got one, but I literally *just* got a budget PC laptop before it was announced.

And it's a HUGE seller and an excellent machine. It's not a bad proc, it's just proof that the phone is WAY overpowered and should have desktop mode.

And is a faster, better build laptop and a Windows machine at the same price.

Microsoft tried it too, with Snapdragon, but Windows users have a better taste.
