New M4 MacBook Air: 6 Key Things You Should Know

You're right. And I bet somewhere at Apple HQ, the bruises on their shins from backpedalling still sting.
(Mini no longer has USB-A though.)

Mini no longer has Firewire either.

The only 2 bad things I'll say are : the blue is a glorified silver, lilac would have been a better choice.
And still no 5G. We want 5G.

Overall decent upgrade, but Apple always leaves us wanting a bit more. Would have liked to see the Nano display option, a cellular option, maybe black instead of midnight, an additional Thunderbolt port on the right etc.

Leaving out a right-side Thunderbolt/USB-C just seems cheap to me. Nano display and "space" colours (RIP space grey!) seem reasonable to keep for Pro.

You mean DisplayLink? DisplayLink along with a compatible dock will give you 3 external displays.

Yes. Silly me

I would think nano on the MBA would not be that great, from what I have read it looks better at higher brightness, which the air just doesn’t have.
