For some context, I&#x27;d disagree with the &quot;low-end laptop&quot; characterization, though if you mean &quot;low-end&quot; in terms of, say, Thinkpads and MacBook Pros, then yeah you&#x27;re right on.<p>My Chromebook cost about 20 percent more than the keyboardcase alone, and I&#x27;m writing this comment on an i7 laptop with 8 gigs of RAM and a GeForce video card, which cost less than the pad and case. I get that there&#x27;s some appeal in entering the Apple ecosystem, but for my needs, I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s a &quot;shot across the bow&quot; of very many actual, full-featured laptops that I&#x27;m allowed to actually install stuff on.<p>(edit: Aaaand while I was looking up my laptop&#x27;s specs, everyone else made the same comment as I. Leaving here in case it helps.)
