Yes. After I posted my question I did find the wikipedia page. I think I will stop by some computer store to see if they have them in stock and on display.

I guess I am dreaming of an inexpensive Mac :). I just bought 2 Apple Max Pros (for my kids) and they like them. I am especially envious when my daughter said that it takes only 10 seconds to book it. And so far (know on wood) no reboots, virus, etc.
