Very superstitious, Writing's on the wall;
Very efficacious, M2's about to fall!

Seen an awful lot of these best ever price articles.

Whenever I've paid enough attention they always been for 8G RAM models.

My assumption is that Apple are struggling to sell them and are trying hard to reduce their inventory.

Why so many sales of the MBA? I thought it already sold well?

Only Gold color is available immediately. Silver and Grey say JULY. Not that great a deal to wait over a month.

Bottom-

Why so many sales of the MBA? I thought it already sold well?

This is the entry model that is being discounted (8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 7 GPUs). There may be only one M1 production line - any chips with failed GPU or memory might end up here (or in the base iMac, which relatively few people may buy). It could also be that Apple have good chip supplies and a good profit margin compared with the Intel machines, so are just digging a bit deeper into the market

I haven't seen a 16 GB M1 Air or Pro on sale, ever. Which makes the price bump to 16 GB seem even more outrageous.

I ordered mine in November and it arrived late January, but I wanted more memory, more SSD and the extra GPU. The Space gray finish works well

No point reducing prices if you can't make enough of them anyway...

Why are there never any deals on the 1 TB models??

The deals are for people who are price sensitive, particularly compared to many Windows machines.

8GB is so 2012. I upgraded my MacMini 2018 to 32GB, low-latency RAM. Great workstation.
