That would be a Mac used in a Point Of Sale system.

What I do not like about Macs (if I would be an
American) is that Apple since a very long time has
it's production facilities in China AFAIK and not
in the United States, to create jobs there
and that they are overpriced
Stefan,

So, you have no problem with those Macs becoming quite a bit more expensive ? I mean, Chinese workers seem to be quite cheap in comparision to American ones (including, but not only, wages).
and that they are overpriced
Ah, I guess not .... :-)

Ah, I guess not .... :-)My godchild, 15 years old, is at school in a so called iPad class, because they must use an iPad (don't ask me why) and now she figured out that a
pen for the iPad, she likes to have, cost her 100+ bucks, because the iPad model she has does not support 3rd parties models which do the same and
cost onyl 30 bucks.

Ah, thank you. macOS wise I think that Macs are
not bad, because users can of course run a Remailer
client or Remailer on it. What I do not like about
Macs (if I would be an American) is that Apple since
a very long time has it's production facilities in
China AFAIK (I have nothing against chinese people)
and not in the United States, to create jobs there
and that they are overpriced, compared to a PC
with better hardware specs.
So, you have no problem with those Macs becoming quite
a bit more expensive ?
Absolutely not

Alright. Just remember that you chose to subsidise your fellow Americans when you start to notice that you can't buy as much as you once could.
And again when the inflation rate goes up a notch or so.
My godchild, [snip]
I'm sorry, but the your comparing of expensive iPad pens to cheap(er) 3rd party stuff is a whole other discussion. Just remember that a products
price will always be(come) what the market will bear. If you think that
that iStuff maker rips you off than that is the result of enough people having no problem with being ripped off.

I wouldn't know what a "POS Mac" is...
...but an actual Apple Mac can pretty much run any software that's ever
been written for UNIX.

Never wasted my time with a Macintosh computer except once long ago when a Japanese visitor rented one.
I did eye a NEXT computer, with its whopping 8 MB of system memory. Until weeks later when everybody realized NEXT wasn't.
IPhones and subsequent smartphones are a different story. Everybody has one, EVERYBODY, including the homeless and people in foreign lands who live in bamboo shacks without indoor plumbing.

I had to replace my 3G Tracphone recently and was
pleasantly surprised to find a full-featured Android Blu
View 1 for $30. I don't know how they can even buy the
hardware at that price. With a 4-core CPU and 2 GB
RAM! Crazy.
My guess is that it's assembled
by Chinese or SE Asian slave labor, like iPhones, and
that Google provides a subsidy because they expect
to be able to spy on me constantly. Or maybe Tracphone
subsidizes it.
Though I must
say, it does really piss me off that for $30 I couldn't
get a "pink gold" phone with 7 60mp cameras, a fitness
plan, and a Dick Tracy watch. So I guess I should have
spent another $1,600 for one of Timmy Cook's status
blobs that can talk to my wrist.

Some of our decision makers may be insane! But their actions are only possible because we have become a saturated smartphone generation.
Thank you Apple for inventing the iPhone ... !!! Your plan to make
people addicted with useless things was succesful!!!
If Germany would still be governed by our former super awesome chancellor Helmut Kohl (R.I.P) it wouldn't be like this!
For privacy activists ... Helmut Kohl always used for important telephone calls telephone booths ... Telephone booths in Germany, at least here in Berlin were everywhere destroyed, so that our German Telekom removed them
and only a couple of them are maintained, because of our regulations.

I think it would be a good idea, regardless of device
and feature set such a mobile device has, to try to
purchase a device, hopefully made in your country
to support local hard working people, that a) one
buys at a local dealer, to support him, instead of
purchasing at Amazon, to make Jeff Bezos not richer
and your local dealer poorer and b) that it runs an
OpenSource OS.
