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.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank bakerzdosen

Not sure if anyone will scroll this deep but I'm a parent of a k-12 (2 actually) kid and there's and option for that in the sign up. Works for me. (In other words this doesn't require ID.me or an edu email.)

I might bite on this.

Yes. Most things have tax. Are you new to buying things?

My 2011 MacBook Pro still worked like a beast and did everything I needed it to- until it dies last year. Got the m1 MacBook Air and damn that's a fine machine!

Thank you for the helpful estimate, since I'm sure everyone here forgot about sales tax.

It doesn't show up in the app if that's what you're trying

Quote from OzzY

Highschooler that needs Mac book air? Unless he/she in an advance art design school, why would a high schooler need Mac air? How about a $200 Lenovo Chromebook? Just a though since I have a highschooler myself and he never needed anything more especially as it could easily disappear. To each his own though.

Those chromebooks can sometimes be so bad that some of the young minds can lose attention in no time.
