Paying that much for that little RAM and storage is bananas.

Exactly - let alone a bad idea for buying a MacBook/* with those crappy butterfly keyboards that will probably break on you within a few years.

You do realize that this is an Apple product? Price is always higher.

8GB of RAM is plenty for the needs of the average user.

I got my wife the 2018 version of this exact config. She was nervous about it only having 8GB of RAM too, but she hasn't had a single problem with its performance. The storage was a bit of a pain to get under, but we did it.

Define "junk" keyboards. I have a early '13 MBA 256gb model that's my daily driver. NEVER had a keyboard issue. Is the new MBA keyboards different from my '13 model. I think I'll hightail it down to Best Buy and try out the keyboard. My standard rule for buying ANY computer and I'm going back 30 years) is to check the keyboard first and then the display 2nd.

I’ll consider a deal like this after Apple replaces the keyboard mechanism in new models. I’ll hang on to my 2015 model in the meantime.

Guess I'm too late. NO silver models (the cheapest) available at $$999 (11:00am PST). On the Presidents Day sale, Best Buy buy had one at $999 (256gb model). I don't care that much about color, but silver, gray, gold in that order would work for me. Easter sale coming up???

If you're not wedded to the MBA and just want a 13" Retina laptop, check out this deal for a 2017 13" Apple Certified Refurbished MBP with Apple Warranty.

It's $949. That's over $200 cheaper than the cost for the same item direct out of the Apple Refurb store.

If you really want a MBA specifically, there are 2018 MBA models in the 128GB or 256GB storage configuration in the $800 to $900 range on eBay from actual resellers. I just got a flawless 2018 8GB/256GB MBA with 2 years remaining of AppleCare+ from a brick and mortar store in San Diego for $865.

8 GB of RAM being enough for some people has nothing to do with the fact that the price is still bananas.

Don’t buy one then.

Don’t buy one then.

That has nothing to do with the price though which ... by the way ... is bananas.
