Prosser: Next MacBook Air Could Come in Colors Similar to iMac

Well it’s working! I got the MBA, but it’s a placeholder until the new 16 comes out - just hope it can do 4 screens like my Intel MBP could (it was stolen otherwise I’d still be using it)
Gosh man just wait till the pro models are released this year. There may be an iMac Pro in a color design more suitable for you.
black bezels would look terrible on all the coloured laptops. 100% guaranteed they will go white bezel.
I do enjoy these colours on the consumer level computers, and have been waiting for the new air to launch [no way was I buying the old chassis with the new chip as I knew Apple could build far better new hardware designed around the M’s [just like the new imac has proven].
Good to have some fun again, and tbh this rumour was a pretty obvious one after the imac.
Should be a fantastic year for apple if they release these, and some decent pro machines this year [which I am hanging out for……]
This is exactly what I am expecting.
I do wonder whether it is just going to be :
Macbook [lose the air] - super light 13” in colours
Macbook pro - similar to current pros [with redesign]
Black models aren't happening. Apple currently makes a Space Grey or Silver model with black borders in an M1 MacBook Air. Not sure what you're going on about.
Unfortunately the way apple works is you get what your’e given.
Sometimes I am pissed other times super happy.
I am loving the direction they are heading in.
That's the thing. I would like to see a real black MacBook. Not another shade of gray. Black. Matte Black. They have a lot of colors. But no black which is the go-to color for most people on computers.
I would totally trade my 2019 MBA in for a Blue MBA to match my new iMac if they do release the new ones in colors.
Let’s see what the pro machines look like first.
Also the macs are clearly identifiable when out and about - a Matt black may lose that which they wont like [plus finger prints are always an issue]
As a big fan of red products, Apple's understanding of the word "red" leaves much to be desired.
That's probably the difference. I don't need a machine that stands out from looks, but from what it can do and how it works. A computer is a tool, not a fashion piece that must match your shoes or purse.
Most people who buy ThinkPads, anyway. Most laptops these days are silver. Silver is the new beige.
Guess you weren't around when Apple had the matte black MacBook. Pretty when taken out of the box, horrible looking after just one month. Fingerprint magnet due to the matte black. Also don't take offense to this but you should educate yourself about anodizing metals. There's a reason why you don't see Apple with a hard anodized black MacBook. That color is very difficult to produce when anodizing metals. That's why they made the iMac Pro in a very dark space grey because attempting to produce black wouldn't turn out well. Black and white products tend to be done in plastic for this reason.
Ooh, does that mean - goin' all retro and fruit-colored - we'll get the opportunity to buy a 'toilet seat' M1 with only one port and tons of extraneous plastic? And the ability to buy a 'hockey puck' Magic Mouse while we're at it?
Looks like more of a 'Squirrel!' moment for the Macoyltes - I guess nothing of substance coming down the pipe.
Much like the extensive ad campaign for the purple iPhone 12...

I doubt they will do two tone given the architecture of Macbooks. The top is all one piece, so is the upper of the keyboard. I don't think they can do a half and half dye of that or that it would look good. they would dye the whole piece. I think the two tone look is more of something they are looking at in terms of the consumer family as a whole. Imagine a bold laptop with a pale ipad.

Jon Prosser is hilarious. He has ascended! He delivers you not the news of today, but the news of tomorrow!
White bezels only and foureva! I want to hear the wails of "STEVE JOBS would *never* have released a white bezel mac computer!" and "Apple is Do0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0omed!1!!!!1!!2!"
Miani is the only Apple focused YTer I can stand these days. I used to watch Rene Ritchie, but since he started his own channel he has increased his output without increasing his content, so everything is watered down and stretched to make it fit the mold of an independent YTer he has in his head. I wish Rene would calm down and run his channel the way he did Vector.
Make a Twitter & post it to make it official. Don’t forget to add that your source is cryptic in case you’re wrong.
PLEASE sell me a 14" orange Macbook Air. I really love those new iMacs, I'm waiting for new laptops, don't really need a Pro, but I need a 14" screen. If they come in various colours? TAKE MY MONEY whoever replaced Jony Ive and brought fun back to Mac.
This WILL happen, with white bezels. 🤮 How many times have Apple made things that are "ugly" in some way, because they are a product differentiator? AirPods are a perfect example. That is how they will highlight the difference between the new generation of Apple Silicon, and the old, Intel stuff. But "Pro" stuff will stick with black bezels. So while we're at it, Apple, could we get a matte black MacBook Pro? 😬
My guess is 99% of the public, including myself, isn't up on the technicalities of anodizing metals nor would we have any reason to be 😂 How about just say, "I know most people wouldn't have a reason to know this, but . . ." (comes across as less condescending, regardless of the "no offense" preface, which is normally said before something offensive to one degree or another 😉)
