In addition to being more locked down, you'd also have to figure out/purchase peripherals like the keyboard and mouse yourself, right?

    It’s an iPhone 16 with a MacBook shell

    I mean if by shell you mean KVM then yes.

    It’s a pretty good price for those peripherals plus the low end phone though

    I wouldn’t consider it low end, early benchmarks put it in the range of M1 which surpasses Intels N-Series.

    IMO it’s the perfect typewriter/frontline worker machine when personal computing is getting more expensive by the day

    Yeah sorry I was thinking more of the other specs than the chip itself. As you say, a pretty good little A chip, I suspect the first real go to market one given M comparisons. Perfect as you say for heavy keyboard users.
