Six speakers, and yet I'd never use them. Wonder how much they add to the price.
Eh idk, its still 200$ more than the 13At $1299... Apple would add another $100 for a better 99Whr battery.
I was pleasantly surprised myself. Right now I use a 14" MBP issued to me by work, but if I had to buy my own laptop the 15" Air would be the way to go. Pricing is not ridiculous (when you consider the Apple tax) and it's a solidly capable machine.I hope Apple has enough capacity to crank out millions of these laptops. This is THE laptop to buy, and will make for some very profitable quarters ahead. My only issue - get RID of the 256 configuration, it only exists allow them to quote a lower ‘starting at’ price. Anyone that knows anything about laptops would never get that model, insufficient memory AND slower.
Also gotta see how they sound since the new MBA design is speak grills freeSix speakers, and yet I'd never use them. Wonder how much they add to the price.
2019 MBP 16" had a 99Whr battery and a larger Intel logic board.Eh idk, its still 200$ more than the 13
Also I don't think 99 would have been possible , but maybe 80 ? You'd expect a better battery life from a bigger device, jist like 14 vs 16
I mean 99mwh , not 99$ haha2019 MBP 16" had a 99Whr battery and a larger Intel logic board.
2023 MBA 15" has a iPhone-sized logicboard for more space for a battery.
$99 seems correct for Apple.
You are correct it is thinner but who started asking for more battery? ;-)I mean 99mwh , not 99$ haha
Hmm yeah but it's also much much thinner isn't it ? The MBA is much thinner than the MBP
Hardly any difference in cost. They first showed up on May 2021 M1 24" iMac, then were in the 2021 Oct 14"/16" Pro/Max MBP's. They render a better sounding Dolby spatial sound from what they are in then stereo, or 4 speaker examples. They just aren't terribly loud for comparisons. But without question I would opt for them being built in for their sound quality. They are also in the Studio Display also.Six speakers, and yet I'd never use them.

And another law that makes soldering ram and ssds into motherboards illegal.Scandal! I hope that the EU will release a law that bigger batteries have to be installed even if there is enough space 😉
They been doing this for Apple laptops since 2012, way too late for that thought.And another law that makes soldering ram and ssds into motherboards illegal.
Batteries today are nothing like they were 10+ years ago, back when you could and needed to replace MacBook batteries regularly. Sure, any battery will degrade over time, but I would venture to guess that most people get 4-6 years of good use out of their MacBooks, before they consider the battery to be a problem. And that is assuming people keep their MacBook that long before upgrading due to advancements in processors, screens, storage, keyboards, etc. Sure, you could argue that all these components should be user replaceable, but there just isn’t enough of a population that is willing and able to do computer part repairs/replacements.That crappy battery replacement experience is exactly why we need regulations to force companies to make it easier to swap batteries. There's NO VALID REASON they had to make the battery so hard to replace. Layering components in a different order and it'd be cake. They just don't want end users replacing them, pure and simple.

Eh but I didn't ask for 99mwh haha, merely 80 or 85, should be feasible nah?You are correct it is thinner but who started asking for more battery? ;-)
No! We don't need more regulations. None.That crappy battery replacement experience is exactly why we need regulations to force companies to make it easier to swap batteries.

They’ve already regulated themselves out of getting the Apple Vision Pro… US Only to start “other countries” later.No! We don't need more regulations. None.
It looks like Apple has fixed the error on the main YouTube channel but you are able to view it on other channel.Weird. Just watched the Apple Vid on YT for US and UK. Seem identical with "silent" being the keyword. Don't see that graphic of the Logicboard with fans, or am I misunderstanding that Twitter post?
No worries, thank you.It looks like Apple has fixed the error on the main YouTube channel but you are able to view it on other channel.
Effectively nothing, they're thrown in for the $100 upcharge that the display would command regardless.Six speakers, and yet I'd never use them. Wonder how much they add to the price.
Yes I think this is the one thing I'd change about this computer, both sound quality, and aesthetics would be better if they'd included them (I guess the latter is down to personal taste, I've seen some people say it makes the keyboard deck look cleaner not to have them).Also gotta see how they sound since the new MBA design is speak grills free
In effect i think the MBA M1 sounds better than the M2, in spite of having only 2 speakers
And soundstage is even wider ofc , since they come from each side of the device, and not from the bottom
well as for the second point I agree that it makes it look cleaner and simplistic, though I also think those holes add some kind of sexy look (gosh, that sounds so wrong I'm sorry ), some character, instead of those weird large bands on each sideEffectively nothing, they're thrown in for the $100 upcharge that the display would command regardless.

haha , love seeing such comments get downvoted but delusional people (or shareholders ?)Apple doesn't care about Steve Jobs. On the other hand they DO care about their stockholders and massive profits. So they will continue to charge 800% (or more) of cost for upgrades until pigs fly.
