And Samsung makes a Chromebook that lists for $550.
It's called the Samsung Chromebook Pro.
And it is a sleek, lightweight, it's got this high-resolution screen.
It's just a cool laptop with great keyboard, really, really responsive trackpad.
No compromise, really, on the thing.
$550.
Yeah, the thing is, you know, when the iPad first came out, everyone said, oh, like, you know, two-year-olds can use it.
It'll be great in lower education, and, you know, it'll be really easy to just get kids on it.
And that's all true, but unless you attach a keyboard to it, you can't really teach typing.
Unless, you know, there's a lot of things that we computer users of the 20th century take for granted, like, you know, mousing around the screen and all that.
Yes.
And I find what – I mean, honestly, as a father, watching my daughter type, it's like a small but real true joy, you know, seeing her actually type on a keyboard.
Because I value that skill in me.
And, of course, 20 years from now, 30 years from now, no one will type anything.
They'll just be –
blasting it from their brain chips.
But right now, like typing still is a valued skill.
And to give my kid a Chromebook does reinforce that for her.
And she really is learning to type something she's never, she loves her iPad, never would type on it, you know, never would do that.
Yeah, I mean, you know, the story of the PC business has kind of, you know, with a few exceptions, has been kind of a depressing one over the past, what, five, ten years even, as people shift to mobile devices and other newer form factors.
