You thought airliners were operated by hobbyists, or Mom and Pop? American Airlines is a division of AMR Corporation.

Agreed. I just haven't seen very many people sporting bright pink, mint green, or sunny yellow laptops in the office and business environment. Also, in my experience, IT departments tend to buy conventional traditional colors so they don't have to anticipate, stock, and manage employees' color preferences.Two different industries.....
Technology is always more lax when it comes to "corporate environment" (startups too).
Go to any other industry and....
This is what concerns me. I would hate to see people up-sold into technology they don't need just because of Apple's color schemes. That would be a bummer.If it's white bezel then I'd probably have to go with the pro............. Even though their power would probably be wasted on me......

The only reason I care about any of this is that I would like to see the MBA continue to have a strong presence in the business world. This will push Apple to maintain the platform and ensure that it remains capable. Anyway, I am sure Apple will provide a "traditional" (i.e., silver to go with the white bezels) color option, since they have done so in the past and it is in their interest to do so.
Absolutely, "worthless" business degrees. Here are just a few ne'er-do-wells that earned MBAs:I was going to make a snarky comment about MBAs, but then I realized you meant MacBook Airs rather than worthless business degrees.![]()
If they do go the colorful route, yes, they’ll have a silver option just as the 24” iMacs do. Our company colors are teal and gray. If Apple somehow were to sell one in teal, I don’t think it’s out of the question.Anyway, I am sure Apple will provide a "traditional" (i.e., silver to go with the white bezels) color option, since they have done so in the past and it is in their interest to do so.

Well, of course, my point was that it is kind of dismissive for the poster I was replying to calling an MBA or business degree "worthless". So, I was pointing out that there are certainly some pretty accomplished folks that have gone that route and probably found it worthwhile.Think of it as a Union Card (similar to a PhD for College Professors).
Here in the Netherlands, Chromebooks are very common in schools, from elementary through high schoolsThe EU (European Union) is not the same as the USA. They are a Union of many different Countries, governments, cultures, and economic levels.
Their education systems don't fall under the EU (think USA Federal), they regulate country by country.
Each country has different wants/needs for their population. (some countries are Hella rich in the EU, while some not so fortunate).
I'd be extremely impressed if the "European education market" would be full of any one thing.
The Chromebook not being popular anywhere in Europe is quite surprising to me, I'll have to look into that.
Also, some countries in Europe, the word College is what they use for High-school.
When they say University, its exactly that. Moving forward you'll notice that most (if not all Europeans) will say University and never College.
(Examples: I am in/at university. When I was in/at University. I am going to University)
I appreciate the differentiation between the white and black. Black will stand out as 'pro' while white is more 'consumer' and 'education' oriented. Like the good ol days.Why tf many people bashing about the white bezel??
Not too long ago about everybody in the school had the white MacBook and I never heard any complain ever about the color of the bezel.
Why now it is not ok?
And is off white really that different from aluminium bezel that about 50 millions MBA have?
USB-C Ports Only, MagSafe
It obviously means USB as the only input/outputs, as opposed to the SD card reader and HDMI port that are now on the Pro models.This is a contradiction. Which is it, USB-C only? Or does it have MagSafe?
Personally I would much prefer NO MagSafe! USB-C ports are much more versatile and you don't need Apple's £49 proprietary MagSafe cable.
I hope it also really does mean a plurality of Thunderbolt/USB4 ports. Three would be fine.It obviously means USB as the only input/outputs, as opposed to the SD card reader and HDMI port that are now on the Pro models.
Suspect we're stuck with two on the Airs, especially if they're using MagSafe.I hope it also really does mean a plurality of Thunderbolt/USB4 ports. Three would be fine.
You are likely right. I'd like three so that I can use an external monitor (mine supports USB-C directly - and will charge whatever is connected), and a hard drive (e.g. an external SSD for Time Machine) and the freedom to do something else (phone, camera, USB stick, scanner, etc.) - simultaneously.Suspect we're stuck with two on the Airs, especially if they're using MagSafe.
Thats not a contradiction. MagSafe isn't called a port in the same way that the powerplug on an iMac isn't called a port. Logically it implies that it will have MagSafe and USB-C instead of MagSafe, USB-C, SD, and HDMI.This is a contradiction. Which is it, USB-C only? Or does it have MagSafe?
Wouldn't a USB hub work well for your needs?You are likely right.

I'd live with two. Plus MagSafe for charging.
No. I'd be wary of expecting a USB hub to cope with charging and display on one connection whilst also managing data transfers on others. And I don't want to have to pay for a hub and carry it around with me.Wouldn't a USB hub work well for your needs?
I saw a YT video where his monitor (albeit extremely high end) had a built in hub for his peripherals.You are likely right.

There are many which have proven to do that well. I mentioned hubs based on what you said you wanted to drive, are you bringing your external display and scanner with you?No. I'd be wary of expecting a USB hub to cope with charging and display on one connection whilst also managing data transfers on others. And I don't want to have to pay for a hub and carry it around with me.
Having my new M1 Max MBP, I can say that I'm glad to have MagSafe back! It's just extra peace of mind knowing that if someone happens to step on or trip over my cord it's not going to yank the MacBook off the table or damage a connector. I can still charge via the Thunderbolt ports if I want. The new power adapter is a USB-C/Thunderbolt power adapter so it can use a USB-C cord if you want. The included cord is the USB-C to MagSafe that's 2m in length.This is a contradiction. Which is it, USB-C only? Or does it have MagSafe?
