That thing would be OK if it was reasonably priced. They don't even pretend to be interested in anything other than squeezing money out of their customers. If there was meaningful competition in the sector, this wouldn't be happening.

The unfortunate thing for me is I don't see how we get reasonable competition in the computing space at this point. The economies of scale that is required to get a reasonably priced chip to market is enormous.
