Everyone decides what's worth it to them, but to me, a sub $400 windows laptop would have been equivalent for your family, as if you know windows you can lock it down for them so they can only use what they need

    Sub $400 windows laptops have disgusting trackpads, plastic outer cases, washed out uncalibrated screens, and poor battery life compared to an M1 MBA. Not even remotely an option.

    No they don't, that's a very generalist view. But hey, if that's what you saw for that price, that's what you saw.

    Like I said, everyone pays for what they think is of value to them.

    I can live with a plastic case (which I've never seen btw), if I know I'm getting it for a much cheaper price
