Would you? For me, it would be perfect. I’d love an MacBook Air style, iPhone hybrid, touchscreen, MiniPC value Apple Tablet, to use at home and on the road.
If it would go for under $/€ 1000 I’m sure a LOT of people would be interested.
So is it real? Of course not. I photoshopped the Apple logo and screenshot in there myself!
It is the new ‘Always Innovating‘ touchscreen device with detachable keyboard, embedded Linux OS which will be available at the end of July for just $300. Well, $300 with an extra $100 if you also want the keyboard.
