Still waiting to get mine lol it's wednesday. Come on... what's taking so long???

If you are a student or have a kid in school, purchase MacBook Air directly from Apple, via Educational Pricing portal. Apple doesn't validate and the discount is higher.

Mine is as real as a 32GB memory M1 Mac. I'll be waiting a loooooooong time.

An Amazon warehouse worker in the UK would have to work for 4 weeks to afford that.

I didn't realize the 512 started at $1249 over the 256 for $999.
Yea 1 GPU core difference I see it.

Assuming that he/she doesn't eat, doesn't pay rent ...

I have this version of the MBA: it is simply brilliant and I happily paid full price back in December. It’s mostly an internet/media consumption device with just a bit of work done with photos and text. I have had a LOT macs and Apple laptops over the years and this thing is simply sensational. I wish for a bit more max screen brightness, but that’s about it.

I’ll be waiting out the next time. Macs have become so comodotized like PCs, getting one is not hard anymore and usually waiting can save you some money.

"8GB RAM" soldered on board -> deal breaker !

 

[maxfromdenmark]

I have read "discontinued" at first. Such a trending word this year 😅

"8GB RAM" soldered on board -> deal breaker !

It is not soldered on the board, it is built into the same package as the processor.

 

[maximus96]

$1,149 for the same config in the Education Store that is open to everyone.

 

[Rocko99991]

No fans and throttled when hot. Nope.

 

[ghanwani]

Surprised at the deal given they are in such tight supply. Local store doesn't have any and online orders are at least a week out.

 

[Romeo_Nightfall]

That huge thing is cheaper than an iphone pro max

that 8GB RAM though ..

For the average user who isn't trying to encode 4K video all the time, as well as using Xcode, having 50 tabs open while trying to Zoom, 8GB of RAM is fine.

Even when I do a lot of swapping, my memory pressure is still staying in the green.

Swap disk nightmare.

Discount the damn 16GB RAM versions... ugh!

I've worked some crappy jobs in my time just to get by. Sometimes two of them usually 65+ hours a week.

Some included construction in a former refinery (filthy, disgusting work, with exposure to toxic petrochemicals) others in retail, worked at a fast food joint for a while, and at a seafood retailer.

When I was working ALL these jobs, my main concern was to keep a roof over my head and my bills paid. They weren't the best times of my life, but I did what I had to do. When I was working these jobs (despite having a full time job) a new laptop was never in the cards for me. Things like paying for housing, clothing, food, transportation, insurance all took precedence.

Even today, working a half decent FT job, after paying for my basics I couldn't see taking all my "disposable" income in one month to buy a laptop. I have to be ready for unexpected things like illness, car repairs, house repairs, etc.

So, even if I took ALL the income I have over the course of 4 weeks that didn't go into keeping me and my spouse warm and fed, I still couldn't plunk down for a $1300 laptop just for craps and laughs. I would have to save for it for several months, and maybe work a side job to make it happen.

Not EVERYONE is at the station in life where they can just drop $1300 for a laptop in one month.

If you're making roughly 7 Pounds/hr your focus in life probably should be elsewhere, not on a new lap top...

You ruined his narrative about Apple bad 🤣 Hoping nobody would tell him...
