Maybe it would be that 12.5” Mac laptop I had wished for after Apple discontinued the 12”. If so, maybe it would be branded as a MacBook instead of a MacBook Air… or not.
Meanwhile, I just bought a 13.6” M4 MacBook Air 16/512 GB for the wife, and I personally have moved on to an 11” M4 iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard. Since I use an M4 Mac mini for work and don’t travel for work anymore, I rarely need a Mac laptop anymore.
An Ax MacBook / MacBook Air with 16 GB RAM could be good for my kids for high school though, especially if it is cheaper than the Mx MacBook Air.
