I am not sure where I land on this issue, I am not entirely sold that it should have been filled to the brim and packed tightly but it does seem like they could have done better either for repairability or at least having things like a headphone jack and maybe better speakers (I have read that speakers can do better with more hollow space without adding much weight but I’m not knowledgeable enough)

The comments have a lot of good viewpoints

      Yes, but at $500 the profit margins are still huge. This is like a $200 tablet being sold for $500. It probably costs $50 to manufacture.

      It would, and would also only apply to a very small minority of people that are stuck in the past. But the increased price would effect everybody.
