>Surface Go is available in eMMC version.

Yes I'm sure all the three Surface Go owners in the world will be devastated.

>Basically anything under $700 has a chance to be an eMMC laptop.

You must be joking. Maybe like sub 300 USD. I have a 700 Euro Laptop and it came with a 1TB NVME and most cheap sub 500 Euros laptops I find are all still with SSDs not eMMC.

SSDs are now so cheap you'll find them everywhere instead of eMMCs. You really need to go out of your way and scrape the bottom of the barrel to find them today in new products.

Thankfully for Microsoft you and your hate are not the ones who buys Surface Go

> You must be joking. Maybe like sub 300 USD

Did you even bothered to check that Amazon link? With laptops at $500 clearly labeled having an eMMC storage? You must be joking.

> SSDs are now so cheap

And eMMC is cheaper. If it wasn't there would be no laptops with eMMC.

Just because you managed to hunt down some junky Emmc laptops by actively searching for them on Amazon doesn't mean anything.

How much percentage wise are they of total sales of laptops?

How many consumers actually buy them?

Those are important numbers, the statistics. Not your Amazon findings trying to spin it into an overexageration.

Emmc laptops are by no means a majority in consumers hands.

No, I didn't 'hunt down', 'actively searched' or whatever. I just typed it in. Also it means what you are didn't bothered to visit that link and you are in denial, because it doesn't suit your views.

> How many consumers actually buy them?

Ah, yes, let me call MS/ASUS/whoever president and tell him to handover the stats, because noname from the Internet demands them or 'didn't happen'

>trying to spin it into an overexageration

Ah, yes, multiple models with eMMC sold everywhere is just an overexageration, it's like a special plot from vendors to... what for, actually?

How come there are models on the market with eMMC when nobody buys eMMC laptops? Can you explain that without overexagerating your snobism?

> Emmc laptops are by no means a majority in consumers hands.

Yes, and this is addressed in my first comment in this thread.
