Multiple news reports say Apple has doubled production of the Macbook Neo. It also is driving very high conversion rates of (non-gamer) home users from Windows to MacOS.

For serious gamers, Mac is not the first choice platform, because many fewer games are available for MacOS than Windows.

I sort of agree... but I'd say the budget is 2x what she saves for it. Parents provide for kids, but making kids have some skin in the game really changes how they treat their possessions. So when my daughter wanted a better grade of electronics-- first it was an iPad that wasn't a hand-me-down, and then it was a Macbook Air-- we had her save up half the cost. That was five and three years ago, respectively, and both are still pristine, because she has a personal connection to their value.
