The Air and Pro have the same performance now
Not true. Air thermal throttles so M1 without the fan can't sustain pro level performanfe

Same chip but pro has fans but in real life the fans almost never turn on unless performing super intensive tasks.

thanks - we have a new highschooler so this is timely. Curious if this would still be around for our tax free week that starts Jul 31 but didn't want to chance it.

My 2015 MacBook air still works like a beast

I see the offer on my Sapphire. You need to activate it on the rewards page. No code to enter on BB, just pay with Sapphire and you get 10% cash back with a limit $35 back. Expires sometime in August. Currently have McD's and Starbucks 10% off as well (at least I do).

I really wish BB would sell the 16GB variants. 8GB is ok for most use cases, but anyone working with RAW photos will quickly wish they had more memory.
U have no idea how powerful the m1 chip is with 8gb ... I was thinking the same thing as you ... I went from a 32gb 2015 MacBook pro to m1 and I must tell u the difference is very little. I am a software engineer for profession btw and I run very heavy apps for my work on the m1 air and it eats it like a champ
