“Am I the only Apple aficionado wondering why — in
hard times — I need to part with a major chunk of cash for….a
smaller laptop? Do I really need a third device, after a cell and a
notebook?“…The tablet is presumably Apple’s push into the scorchingly

they’re so bargain basement cheap — sub $350 gets you in the game.

the price will (if forecasts are correct) fall to $750. Still high.
