Ok but like why?
I get wanting a battery you don't have to plug in every 15 minutes. But why not go for a 18 hour battery, or even a 5 day battery?
2 years is just silly.

Except in 1972 that would fill a room.

Or a Tandy 100.
(These things do have exceptionally nice keyboards for a laptop, I have to say. Not Y2K compatible, though. Watch out for that.)

I had one of these. It's super cool but honestly not that useful unless you're planning to write a novel on the go.

These were available through Verizon online in at least mid January. I know because I almost bought a refurb bc I really wanted a 13 pro and all that was available online were refurbs, but managed to find a brand new one in my local store (wasn’t listed in inventory just happened to be there). Same price points and it seemed like way more of a risk than the ‘discount’ was worth.

They’re just kinda slow, even at their price points they should be a little snappier than they are

And 96 MHz would’ve been faster than the fastest supercomputer. The Cray-1 only reached 80 MHz in 1976.

You can get a refurbished AlphaSmart. Basically its a digital typewriter with small screen and a USB port. We used them back in elementary school.

Anyone else here expecting to see an actual potato as the battery source?

Yeah, but you can at least eat the potato when it's out of power and fast reload a new one. Potato charges computer, then potato charges you. Circle of life.

Would love to not have to plug something in for 2 or 3 years knowing I can play with the toy on the go.
