felt like i was watching an &quot;apple&quot; keynote ad for a new product<p>cool piece of tech, but what got to me was the subscription. based on the FAQ, subscription cost $22-33 a month. expand that to a year, around $250-400 a year, and add it to the hardware price ($400)...total=$800. That&#x27;s pretty hefty just for a tech like that. Might as well invest in a mac air instead. Sounds like this team marketed this too high.<p>in addition, why would you mention in your video that there will a fix subscription price and no freemium or premium package, but FAQ section, you mention you might look at other levels for more complex bundle? sounds like I might need to pull out my starburst and think about this contradiction.

Goodbye personal computer, hello social computer? No, thank you.

A custom operating system? A monthly fee? A high starting price? Thanks, but no thanks! There&#x27;s Lumia with a standard OS and much better capabilities.
