Micro Center has an extra $20 off that M1 and the same price one the M2 with free in store pickup.

Its like there is a glut or something with all these deals? Was there an expectation that a lot of people would be working and learning from home in droves or something?

Still no discount on the still Intel Mac Pro. 2 year transition FAIL!

If only these machines had 16 GB of ram. even at a higher price point. 8 GB is on the low side with 2023 around the corner.

is there only a discount on the base models?

is there only a discount on the base models?

Most Retailers (like BestBuy, Amazon, Costco etc that discount) typically only get the "standard" configs which for the MB Airs, 13" MBP, iMac and Mac mini are still sadly 8/256 and 8/512 after all these years.

8GB on the M1 is perfectly fine. I changed 2019 MBP i5 1.4GHz 16GB to Air and it is a rocket.

Not if you have memory intensive apps in use, like photoshop. It lags.

The M1 MBA is STILL the best bang-for-the-buck out there, hands down.

I got the M2 though, but just because I had the blow to money.

It doesn't. I ran Photoshop on an 8gb M1 Air and it ran fine. No lag at all. I sold the Air and got a Pro and it still runs fine, just a little snappier.

With 2 browsers open, email client, Photoshop, Slack…switching between apps can take a couple seconds. If you intend to use the computer like I do cough up the extra couple hundred and get 16 gigs ram.

If you are worried about a few hundred dollar discount on a Mac Pro, you probably don’t actually need one.

Excellent prices for both the Macbook Air's

Anyone know how the contrast is on the M2 MBA? I'd love to stay on the Air but definitely still salivating over the blacks on the Pro line. (relative has one, I watch all my movies on there now) Is the M2 Air at all better compared to the gray blacks on my M1?
