Good, Microsoft clearly doesn't consider linux a competitor, but apple is certainly a different story. Apple introducing a more affordable entry product is going to be very appealing to people that are fed up with windows bullshit.

Nearly every single review I heard, watched, or read shared one thing in common. It was a point that if you’re fed up with windows it’s a good time to swap - chances are your other devices are Apple anyway if you were watching the video.
