I feel like colourizing these is obvious, but I LOVE reading it. It's past time they had some fun again. They're finally being more up front about the delineation of their products again. iMac, iPhone 12, and iPad Air already come in a bunch of colours. Makes sense that their entry level/student laptop would get the treatment too.

For anyone who wasn't an Apple user before the last decade, they used to have a lot more fun with their designs and change things up every couple of years. Several versions of the iMac were iconic. It made updates WAY more fun. It's time to put some fashion back into the line up.
 
Interesting if we get a new iBook. That would kinda make sense if it’s a general purpose mass market laptop for the masses for everyone that need a basic laptop or a Chromebook, especially as really young kids are now using computers for distance learning. Computers are a necessity for everyone now.

How about we just wait and see instead of listening to this garbage can? I wonder how much MR pays him, or does he pay MR? 🤔
That’s really uncalled for. Calling someone a garbage can is unnecessary. Saying they’re not accurate, unreliable, their opinion isn’t worth two cents, etc. is one thing, calling someone a garbage can or garbage… that’s too much.
 
I'm guessing they do the matching iMac colors, with white bezels an darker shade on the lid. Bet they also drop the "Air" from the name and just call them MacBooks again. They'll start at a higher price (probably $1199 or 1299) and the MacBook Air will hang around at 999.

The bezels definitely should be white, and the keyboard as well, to keep the design coherence. But I seriously doubt we'll see colorful MacBooks. The palm rest areas would likely be washed out in a matter of months, making the whole thing look terrible. Unless they have invented a new dyeing method that we don't know of.
I am kinda impressed with the current line of laptops. The trackpads and palm rest areas don't get washed out, unlike on the Thinkpads.
 
Is the M1 Air getting updated soon? I was really looking forward to purchasing one, and thought the update won’t be until ‘22?
 
I don't mind the colors on MBA, just hope there won't be white bezel.. otherwise it will be something..
 
Atleast this makes more sense than the iMac. Even though the colours are questionable.
 
I expect (and also really hope) this design will only be used for consumer focused laptops like the MBA. I'm a Pro user and really love my space grey and black bezels.

He has been pretty reliable several times. He has got it wrong too just as Kuo and Gurman had. The difference is that Prosser is extremely unlikable, he is just annoying, and his show is cringy.
I think the biggest issue is his attitude and lack of ethics. Sure, one could be wrong, even analysts like Kuo and Gurman gets it wrong at times. But not only not admitting it, and also insisting he was right to some degree? No thanks🙄

I can’t see why does he deserve the exposure and why are we encouraging such behavior by giving him publicity.
 
More like this I reckon:

Yes my friend built one of these, I built this, picked it up at the heathkit factory outlet in 1978 at the Saint Joseph, Michigan my grand mother lived right down the street from the factory. It was fun to build and have a true understanding of computer technology.

That Heathkit (man I miss them) reminds me of the Heathkit 512 byte computing monster I got to program in ASM in my high school electronics class.
