In the UK, a similar discount was applied to the 512 Gb model, but only half the discount has been applied to the 256 Gb model. Thanks Amazon UK (not that I was buying one anyway, but it's just typical).

According to Amazon tech specs, comes installed with incredibly old OS, El Capitan?

 

[bollman]

That would be a proper feat, to get El Capitan onto one of those....

It was already this price if you just used the education portal to order.

The gold model must not be selling well. The gold model has been on sale at B&H for over a month at this same price.

Core i3/dual core. It’s shocking they are not stating it on their page

 

[dogslobber]

Could someone who has already purchased a laptop from Amazon, opened it, and then returned it clarify their return policy? Do they impose a restocking fee for an opened laptop?

This is from their website:

Computers and Electronics

• New desktop, laptops, or tablets (excluding Kindle E-readers and Fires) purchased from Amazon.com that didn't start when they arrived, arrived in damaged condition, or is still in an unopened box can be returned for a full refund within 30 days of purchase.
• Amazon.com may test computers that are returned because they didn't start when they arrived and impose a customer fee equal to 15 percent of the product sales price if the customer misrepresents the condition of the product.
• Any returned desktop, laptop or tablet that is damaged through customer misuse, is missing parts, or is in unsellable condition due to customer tampering may result in the customer being charged a higher restocking fee based on the condition of the product.
• New, used, and refurbished products purchased from Marketplace vendors are subject to the returns policy of the individual vendor.

With dual-core i3 CPU

Not selling well because people are tired of paying high prices for crap specs. Can’t keep fooling us Apple.

Not sure I would waste money on an i5 upgrade for this Macbook Air due to the thermals and having a much more powerful Macbook Pro at the next tier. I think the i3 is great for the intended audience of this Mac. So the $899 price is right for this basic model.
