What do you think pricing will be like on the Macbook Air 15" model?
I'm looking for a machine for my 70yr old mom, and mostly just need the bigger screen and storage for her photos.
I'm likely to look for a 15", 16gb, 1TB model, but Apple is just brutal on the pricing for this now. I could consider going with a 512gb SSD and using external storage but that is kind of a pain. Not really considering 8gb ram. No need for the 10 core gpu but not sure what the M3 will bring and how many cores it will have.
Current 13" M2 air pricing:
- 13" air w/ 16gb/1tb (standard pricing): $1799 / (edu pricing): $1659
- 14" pro 10-core/16gb/1tb (standard pricing): $2199 / (edu pricing): $2029
Going from the 14"->16" screen size adds $200 with the pro displays and also gets better speakers & cooling. Really for a non-mini-LED screen I would hope that it's more like $100 to bump up screen size, but Apple might bump this even more.
My guess:
- 15" air 16gb/1tb: $1899 or $1999 standard pricing. The problem with $1999 is that it's awfully close to the 14" pro pricing.
