I just realized you have to spend $1,800 to get the 10th generation processor. Interesting choice considering the base MBA is a 10th gen i3, or for $100 more, a 10th gen i5.
Got a tip for us?

So for the entry model, Tim is trying to charge you again for a fixed keyboard?
You’re welcome...

Maybe if Apple didn't make these half ass attempts at computers, they won't be.
In terms of storage RAM and processor options, the mid 2020 MacBook Pro offers much better value. Akin to at least a 300 price cut for the same ram and storage options. Good job apple.
The piss and moan entitlement crowd have nothing better to do than whine and cry about everything Apple releases. Apple can do no right and, hopefully, once A-series based Macs show up, they’ll get the hint and go somewhere else.
The same resolution screen for who knows how many years? Sorry but no buy...
And they significantly lowered the trade-in values of existing Macs.. I have a 2017 15", Last week the trade in was $980, today its dropped to $800. I'm going to keep what I have, if it was a 14" I might've considered it, but to go back to 13" and lose almost $200.. Sorry!
Cost of the slimmer bezel, maybe $10 more per laptop! Apple is the king of the cost accounting in the industry!
Because the upgrades are silly and over priced a windows laptop for same spec is half the priced i like macos but come on they could of at least slimmed the bezels
Two days ago:
8th gen 1TB/16GB 2.8/4.7Ghz i7 MBpro = $2699
Now:
10th gen 1TB/16GB 2.3/4.1Ghz i7 MBpro = $2199
That is a massive price drop...but the question now is:
The single core turbo boost is a huge drop (~15%) from the 8th gen 4.7 to 10th gen 4.1Ghz
Thoughts?

No 14 inch, no speaker improvements, no screen improvements, Pathetic 720p webcam. NO BUY.

What planet are you on? Spec for spec, with similar construction, the Windows laptops are all about the same prices. What can be found are even more expensive 13” laptops with Nvidia GPUs for much more. In my opinion, Apple is missing something to compete with the Razer Blade Stealth. It’s a beast. Also more expensive with its Nvidia GPU.
Like Tim Cook said, they have their heads down working hard on great products. Must have taken a lot of brain power bumping specs and using a no-longer-new keyboard.
Hopefully all their real work is going into fixing OS X and freshening up iOS.

To be fair, there's nothing wrong wither either the screen quality or speaker.
Overall meh from me, and glad I picked up the 16" - only gripe there is the excessive GPU power consumption.
Kind of expected only the 'top' model allows 32GB RAM option, but overall pricy, and even there top model base is an i5. I'm wondering if it's as someone else stated if they'll be doing a 28W TDP + 14" yet to come...
And yes, the 720p FaceTime camera has long outlived it's 'keep one part in use for a decade' lifetime, IMO, but they did the same on the MBP16, so expected, even if outdated...

Basically the new keyboard and double the storage for the same prices.
Wow Apple. Try much?
It’s clear they see the future is the iPad when it comes to portables.

a moment of silence for the death of the butterfly keyboard. It's about time. Let's hope it never comes back. I can start thinking about my return from the surface exile
