The thing that gets me excited is the promise of technology as an augmentation of the individual, that places the human in control, makes the human more capable, more free. And I really don't see any other product making that the center of all of their design choices.
Just a few years ago, it would have been nearly impossible for Apple to build a product like this. Several developments helped make it viable. New manufacturing technologies lowered the cost of producing aluminum enclosures. The Apple A18 Pro chip from the iPhone 16 became inexpensive enough to deploy at scale. And macOS has gradually been redesigned with more color and visual personality, making Macs potentially more appealing to a younger audience.
