Given all the functionality they list I would say, yes, it is indeed a PC wannabe, much like the internet appliances of yesteryear but with a few new features nailed on the side and made much prettier.

And it is not a small notebook.
There are two things stopping it from being that: 1) A real OS 2) A USB port. The
hardware is plainly capable of both, but you're not going to get it...

And of course Apple is a bad Company luring people into buying their beautiful products, and soon after everybody has bought them they are mean enough to throw improved versions onto the market. This is really awful. No other company treats their customers like that.
You missed the actual point entirely. They continuously release improved versions of products that have
no useful expansion capabilities. Music players without card slots. Fauxputerphones without USB ports, phone or texting capability, multitasking, or drivers that can extended or revised by anyone but Apple. You get what they want you to get, and
they want repeat customers, so they make products that, once they've outlived their design lifetimes, are
garbage.

I wish I could still use my 2001 iBook G3, but it has no touch screen.
I'm not talking about notebooks. If you really can't use it though, send it to me.
