Do you think low paid workers are going buy a cheap laptop for 500$ and pay 30$ or 50$ per month for Mighty instead of just getting a more powerful Window laptop for like 1000$ or 1500$?

M1 macs can be had for $999, and they can even be bought with cheap financing options to convert it to a monthly payment.

Maybe there’s a market for people stuck on old computers but whose companies still spring for super fast internet and $50/month SaaS bills per user instead of just spending that same money (or less) financing the laptops they actually need, but it would be a small market.

Is it just the price that's the problem? What if Might were $30 to $50 per year?
