Waiting for the Arm-Based Mac's to be released.

Link to that wallpaper ?

I feel like anything less than 20% isn’t newsworthy.

 

[Jnyapplthief]

The post in incorrect; this is the 10th generation intel processors, not 8th

 

[BigRed1]

Best Buy has had this price on this machine for some time now.

Are you a guy or is there actually a woman nerding out on these forums?

 

[caftunes]

Great prices

 

[decypher44]

Great price, but waiting for ARM!

I was about to say the same...

I honestly can't rule out that "she" is actually just a bot lol. I haven't seen any other profile post nearly as much, as frequently or as soon after an MR article is published, as I have @Theyayarealivin

Yes. Some of us geek out.🙄

<Can’t believe I have to say that though...>

Re: poster, DK and DC.

As for that sale price, I am really tempted, but will hold off for AS Macs.

Lol makes me laugh seeing Apple still selling 8th gen processors in 2020.

 

[MacLawyer]

If you are thinking of buying one of these, I can tell you mine is great. No issues. Great keyboard.

At least the username is somewhat gender-neutral. It's more disconcerting to see something like an avatar of an attractive blonde, but the handle is "dick" or "joe"

 

[Dhock_Holiday]

I expect to see even more price decreases as we get closer to early November

Yep, bought mine over a week ago

 

[Apple_Robert]

Nice discount for someone looking to buy.

 

[MonsoonAZ]

Unfortunately they are NOT IN STOCK and will take weeks for them to arrive.

If I'm not mistaken those i5 1.4ghz cpus are only in the 13" entry level MacBooks (1299 & 1499). To get the latest and greatest 10th gen Intel cpu is $1800 and nets you about a 10% difference in performance. In some benchmarks it'll be even lower. I mean if you are chasing a spec sheet that might be important.

"start with the model that has a 2.0GHz eighth-generation Intel Core i5 processor, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD, priced at $1,599.99"

I paid nearly 2500 € (2977 USD) including Apple Care for this in 2018, at the Apple Store in Austria. Custom made, took 2 weeks to deliver.

Maybe so but there are 10th gen chips out there, why are they still selling 8th? Sat on a stockpile or something? Selling devices for that much with old hardware is laughable.

I’m in the market for a ~£1200 laptop right now and this time no way is it going to be a MacBook. Not when there are so many other options with current hardware.
