I feel like the Mac mini would be a lot better if the second stock variant, instead of having more storage, had more memory

I feel the same way, I would rather have more memory. I can add an external drive.

$300 difference for an extra 256gb of storage. What a steal!

Best Buy is offering the 13 inch for $899 to Total Tech members.

The best deal for a student may still be Apple’s M2 MBA back to school deal at $999 and the $150 gift card.

 

[Mr. Dee]

I think these deals is a sign why Apple will not rush out new Macs anytime soon. There seems to be a glut on the market right now topped with inflation. Most people are working with what they got. If I were Apple, I would wait until fall 2024 before updating any new Macs to M3.

That’s what I got for my nephew.

 

[FasterQuieter]

Every time with these offers all I see in my mind is a large "8GB" and I move on.

On the 13", the 512GB model for retail also comes with the 10 core GPU version of the M2, which is a $100 bump, and throws in the 35W dual port charger rather than the base 30W.

 

[The Cockney Rebel]

That’s a great price for the Air, but I wouldn’t buy the base model.

 

[Apple Fan 2008]

Unless you are an average user, never buy the base model.

In the real world, $200 ($300 upcharge - $100 CPU upcharge) will get you an external 4TB SSD.

So pay $179.99 to be a Total Tech (now called My Best Buy Total) member so you can save $50

I'm not seeing how that's a deal.

 

[Mainsail]

I agree, and the average user makes up a large segment of the laptop buying population. For example, a couple of my kids went through college with base model MBAs without a problem (International Relations and Business Majors). However, I can see how some students might need more computing power than the base model.

I use a base model M2 MBA for all of my business and personal computing....again, no problem for me. But, I am your typical user....nothing extraordinary.

 

[Anglagard]

If you are no tech savvy, and you see 8GB, immediately run like the wind, it's too low of a base.
Storage you can upgrade with external drives and USB Pen drives, memory cannot be upgraded in Apple Silicon, shoot for 16GB minimum unless ALL you want to do is web browsing and word processing.

That 256gb or storage might cost apple $8.00
Apple acts as if they souce the minerals for their storage chips from a neutron star.

Yes, Apple grew the 13” M2 MBA by 2 inches.

 

[GMShadow]

That's nice.

The cost to go from 256GB to 512GB on a ThinkPad X1 is $224.
On a Dell Latitude 3540, it's $270.

So much for the 'real world'.

I remember in 2012 buying a 240gb SSD for $180 after mail-in rebate (lol.)

11 years later, Apple charges about the same price per GB.

I think the point is that it’s a deal if you’re already a member. You could say the same thing about Prime.

You also get Apple Care with My Best Buy Total. With my family of four who all use Apple products it is a good deal.

They don’t tell you they charge you $199 PER YEAR for Best Buy Total.
It’s not a one time $199, read the fine print.
It’s $199 A YEAR.

Good discounts on multiple models.
