    $498

    optional keyboard cover for an extra $101.

    Ah, I understand. It’s an attempt to replicate Steve “unwashed” Jobs’ strategy, where buying overpriced stuff makes you BETTER, DIFFERENT and UNIQUE. Am I right?

      Do you think it is overpriced?

      I was doing the configure your device option but I have no clue if the ”additional language” is the external keyboard. It has to be(?) :)

        Do you think it is overpriced?

        Given its capabilities and the fact that you can buy used MS notebook/360 device for such a price? Of course.

      $500 with a keyboard would be acceptable for a device like that. But the retail price is given as $700 plus $100 for the keyboard. That’s pretty steep.

        I’m all for paying a little more for a machine that puts Linux and FOSS first. Dell and Lenovo are cheaper, sure, but you’re supporting the Windows/closed source ecosystem.
