I would buy one if it had an Intel inside for gaming and if it was half the price.

Seems weird that these sale posts always omit how much RAM there is.

This is the 8GB model. ?

A gaming console is half the price ?

A gaming console is half the price ?

Checking.... No. Sold out unless you purchase from eBay for twice as much as a Macbook Air M1.

It's safe to assume all them have 8 GB of memory because all of the standard configs have 8 GB of memory. The only way of getting 16 GB is to custom order it.

I am starting to think there is a glut of M1's on the market. Apple likely overestimated and produced a lot. With current pandemic, budgets are tight and not a lot of people are buying them. Worst, with news of more powerful models in the pipeline.

I think that is a good price. I wonder how it will perform against the 2020 iPad Pro? I know Apples and Oranges comparison. Pun sort of intended. But the sale price vs. even a 2020 iPad Pro with MK might be worth a look at. I still miss my 12" Macbook, even though it ran sluggish.

I have a 2020 MacBook Air with the 1.1 ghz quad core with 16 gb of ram and I get the using significant resource warnings on half the web pages I visit. The same pages on my iPad Pro run fine. I want to upgrade but not to an M1 with stronger machines in the pipeline. This sales on M1 are tempting but not tempting enough given they are outdated already.
