In other words, the Ai bubble has popped and retailers are overstock with this thing and demand for these old-sKool netbook-like mess has super plummeted, as expected. Gotcha! 😂

*Ding* *Ding* Bingo!!

IMHO: until these are priced in the same league (or LOWER) then Chromebooks I rather doubt that they will sell very well.

Given that there are a number of (while limited) x86 powered < $500 options on the market a consumer would be better off getting a 'pet rock' vs one of these Snapdragon designs. :)

While nobody has mentioned this: might Win-on-Arm be attacked LESS than classic WIN due to the limited market spread of the devices? (and hence be more 'secure'?)
