Yeah but uhhhhhhhhhh the case
…Kinda wish you could buy Mac cases separately, and also that they made the translucent coloured plastic type cases like with the Power Mac G3/G4 and such; but that's not how Apple works
I think they'll still have a market for the support? Been a while since I used OS X but I don't think the OS is a selling point anymore
