Look, we can talk endlessly about what these toys are supposed to cost, but fact is that you couldn’t even buy a second-hand Field for 1399 before this month. This really is “cheap” to the degree that I’m surprised scalpers haven’t emptied their stock in a week.
This. They make fabulous products, but they are already on the Apple side of pricing, where you pay more for the brand than the product.
