Deals: Amazon Takes $200 Off Apple's New 15-Inch MacBook Air, Available From $1,099

[python0704]

My next MacBook after 16" MBP gets too old or unusable.

 

[svish]

Great discount on the 15" Air

Heh, don’t forget that Apple used to make a 17in Pro!

I have one. The original model. I bought it new when it came out.

It still works.

And the screen size is wonderful, if it's the only screen one has. Which was true for me, and I hauled it around Japan for 3 years. Glad I bought it when I did.

I played around with one in the Apple Store. Way too big for me.

Bring back the 12" MacBook!

Yes!! Give us an 11 or 12” model please.

Silver in 8gb 512 is available also, not just starlight.

Might get it. Really want 16gb 1tb but thats $600 more. Wtf apple wtf

Yeah the 15" MBA is a no-go when you start upgrading the RAM & SSD - it's just not worth the obscene price.

$500 more if you go to B&H. They usually have discounts on any config.

There have been hints M3s will start at 12gb, imagine that could put this issue to rest for some if it happens.

 

[ghanwani]

So can we conclude this product is a knockout success?

 

[CoolSpot]

Amazon knows something we don't and it smells like M3 rev is coming this October.

Nah. People buying a $1000+ laptop aren't going to settle for 8gb or 256gb storage so nobody buys them and Apple/Amazon have to discount them to get them to move at all.

Notice that the good configurations (16gb/512/1tB) never ever go on sale.

You might actually be surprised. The users needing the higher configs tend to be very tech savvy. When I bought my 202 M1 MBP, I settled for the base model, but upped the storage to 512. I weighed the Pro's and Con's knowing I wasn't gonna messing with VMs and anything needing lots of RAM. Its been more than enough for my needs.

It doesn't sit well with me that Apple charges $200 for 256GB of additional storage in 2023. Or $200 for 8GB of RAM in 2023. These capacities are way too low to start in a device that is normally $1299. Hopefully that changes with the M3 but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Why people hyping these m chips laptops aren’t worth it in value if the ram or storage aren’t keeping up with the rest of the market with pricing.
