Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
Don't sleep on the original M1 Air. In my case, I use it on the couch and at cafes, and then I connect it to a 32" 1440p 75Hz display with mouse and keyboard and it becomes a productivity monster.
Base model only has 8GB of Ram. You can’t get it upgraded to 16GBs unless you order it directly from Apple. It means Best Buy, Amazon and other online shops will only have 8GB version. At least 8GB on Mac OS is equivalent to having 16GB of Ram in Windows.
What a refreshing change to watch a calm, considered, and informative presentation. And thank you for avoiding all that unboxing nonsense.
If you are done with the review you can consider to send one to me . I can give a review after using my first mac
Waste of time . There will be tons of unpacking video , then display and sound, then test video, then comparing with m1 pro video, then “5 reasons to buy Macbook Air 15”, and “5 reasons why I still choose m1 pro than Air 15” . In a year a new laptop will come out and the cycle will repeat
Talking about affordable price to n base model but it is a trap cause nobody buy the base model cause the ssd low and small. So at the end the real price is more expensive.
So no speed test no ssd test? How hard would it be to see if the SSD can keep up with the M1…? Btw I paid 799 for the M1 from Costco. Still happy with my M1… So I'll wait for the 70% faster M3 and get it with 16gb… Should be future proof for the next 5 years or so.
Only 5 years late😅
I’m surprise apple give you 8 gig of ram for 1299
So how many 1080p displays can it drive?
The 16gb ram, 512g ssd option is very close in price to the 14” MBP
Why do they have a notch still? This is a laptop, not a smartphone. There is no need for a notch, they can put the web cam in the slim bezel. Gonna wait for the day they make a notchless laptop.
Just the 13 inch Air is selling in Australia for $1,800 AUD which is too expensive for me so I will pass on that. The 15 is about $2,300 AUD . Apple are pricing themselves out of the market in my humble opinion.
THE PRİCE İS CHEAP, THE SİZE İS GOOD!
the elephant in the room is the M1 14" and 16" pro's which, at least in Australia sit either side of the 15" with 512gb and 16gb , price wise by $100 or so – both far superior products, even with M1
$100 off Education, $150 gift card, and $500 off for trading in my M1 Macbook Air from 3 years ago. Oh, and 3% cash back with Apple card and easy monthly payments. This was a no brainer. Thank you, Apple.
Only if you go for the base model though.
“There’s no fan on it so I don’t need to worry about it getting hot on ur lab”. That’s not true…the fan lowers temp so this device will get hot in ur lap.
Can’t believe how much Apples laptop design has regressed over the last 10 years.
Boring review 😢
The notch pises me off they did it on purpose
I bought it on the release day but have not yet gotten my hands on it. I upgraded from Mac Book Pro 13" (2014). Does it make sense?
I wish they would do M2/pro imac
I would never buy a fan-less notebook computer, the throttling would be obnoxious.
Not with a notch.
It starts at $1300 but you’re going to bump up the hard drive at the very least. I think for a lot of people this will be close to the base MacBook Pro price. ($1800 for 15inch air – Vs a 14 inch pro at $2000).
The marketing term for this is The Decoy Effect. This is going to move more MacBook Air customers into MacBook Pros.
You really don’t get much for the bump in price to this 15inch MacBook Air. You get a TON with the small bump in price to the Pro.
You’re celebrating a customer manipulation tactic.
Maybe in US
In Asia, it’s bordering MacBook Pro M2 Price. 😅
Greater surface area is a more noticeable and measurable improvement than the refresh rate of the pro models. Ditto for weight.
People are saying the 14" has a better screen without doing a "blind" view test.
Watching every single video of this laptop I can today
So do you like the Midnight color? I agree that the 13" is ideal for traveling like I do. Torn on color – love the midnight but those smudges : )
I wonder why everyone is getting the starlight to review. I think maybe this is the least popular color? Hence them wanting to push sales?
Another top "notch" MacBook. Apple never disappoints. Smh
M2 😂
