Apple seems poised to revive this forgotten style of laptop from the 2000s

Description

Apple's MacBook Air is one of its most popular laptops for a reason. The laptop has remained slim and lightweight since it's iconic introduction, and as of the release of Apple's M-series chips, comparatively powerful, too. What it hasn't been is very affordable, even now at $1000. Apple's answer to people looking for an affordable computer has long been the iPad. First, as a casual web browsing and app-using device, and later as a psuedo-laptop with one of the company's many keyboard accessories. For schools and people on a budget, though, a Chromebook or a refurbished Windows or macOS device still makes a lot more sense.
