Apple MacBook Air 13.3" (Early 2020): Core i3 10th Gen, 8GB DDR4, 256GB SSD EXPIRED

Good price! Wish i5 is $999. Will grab one. Thanks! Silver is same price.

This is an intriguing deal. Ram is the only thing holding me back. Better than the 4gb on my 2014 that still runs well... may go for it anyway.

Anyone complaining about 256gb needs to learn how to cloud or how to nas

Would bite on this, but thermals on this scares me

Better wait for the 14inch that's coming out soon.

Just got this (exact) machine in yesterday. Pretty nice, it definitely gets warm, especially during setup. Previous machine was MBP 15" 2015 and I definitely prefer this one - the screen is a lot nicer.

It's definitely not as "capable", but I replaced the MBP with a desktop and now I can get away with a smaller portable for lighter stuff. Overall I recommend it.

As a heads up - Apple has an extended return policy for now while their storefronts are closed. You get until 2 weeks after they open their stores back up to return anything you order right now from Apple direct. Best Buy has something along the same lines, but I believe right now they have specified end of May. This store may have something similar although likely less lenient since it is only online (I believe?).

I mention this because it could be a backup to return this laptop should they release the MBP 14 and you prefer to buy that. Myself, I'm skeptical that the base price will be reasonable and also I like physical function buttons. But, you'd still have the option if you feel compelled.

Overall, I definitely recommend this laptop if you're an Apple user and don't need it for professional work.

Possibly, but that will also be at least $400 than this deal. Depends on what you need from a laptop.

Would totally jump on this offer if it was an i5 still a great deal imo

The i3 in the 2020 is still faster than the dual-core i5 in the previous model so even with the "slower" processor it's still a ~25% speed boost over the 2018.

I'm really tempted on this.
Do you think there's any chance Amazon or Best Buy will match?

Students and military members can get the i5 at apple homepage with $989.

Shitty keyboard. No thanks. Dual core in 2020 smh. Might as well use my celeron dell laptop from 2002.

Not a good deal

Same price as education Mac store

Thermals on this device are horrendous

Fans spin up and sound very loud, unit gets hot with basic web browsing and watching Youtube

Unacceptable for any laptop let alone a laptop costing $1000+

Wait for the Macbook Pro 13 (14) refresh, stay away from this it's almost as bad as the butterfly keyboard issue

Graduated 2012. Still have edu email but not sure if I can still use it for education purchase there.
