You guys are Matt Alexander.

Yeah, just to give some perspective.

So the current 14-inch MacBook Pro is 3.5 pounds.

The 13-inch MacBook Air is 2.7.

The 12-inch MacBook was 2.0.

That's a huge difference.

difference that is like it's about the same difference between the 14 inch and the 13 inch air so like it's it's about that same difference but like in at in relative terms compared to the air it's even bigger like 2.7 to 2.0 yeah that's a huge difference absolutely and nothing else has come close

The old 11-inch MacBook Air, I think, was a 2.3 or 2.4, something like that.

So that was kind of between the two.

But yeah, 2.0 pounds.

Nothing has been like that.

I mean, now, if you have, I think, if you have an 11-inch iPad with a magic keyboard, I think you're somewhere above that.

I think part of Apple marketing's argument in the meantime has basically been that the 11-inch iPad covers that role.

And it sort of does, but it doesn't cover it well.

It doesn't cover it nearly as well as the 12-inch did for people who wanted that kind of form factor.

It's not the same.

The Magic Keyboard and iPad is a brick.
