What are you taking about?
it's $499 for education actually
It is $599 + tax for me in Yankee Doodle land.
That’s Canadian. Exchange rate makes it cheaper than 599 USD.
$599 here, but I also live in a state with no sales tax.
But that's the 256GB version. 512 is $699.
Of course I have 24TB free on my NAS soooo...
Still not spending $600 on an Apple branded Chromebook.

Yeah, yeah, fanboys are going to go "A18 Pro" vs "AMD Ryzen™ 3 7320U with Radeon™ 610M"
But on the other hand, 15.6" display vs. 13", 120hz vs 60hz, 512gb storage standard vs 256. 65w charger vs. 20w.
Goose it to the AMD Ryzen™ 5 7520U with Radeon™ 610M and it's still $570.
If you’re buying based on specs, this isn’t for you.
If you're buying any Apple product on specs, it's not for you. 😉
I’d buy the Mac simply because it’s not a plastic 15” 1080p panel
