So far, for $310 the Chromebook is a glorified web browsing system with a 4K touchscreen. Macbook airs (2015+) outperform the chromebook in all but one way. You can draw on it and touch the screen.
Okay, the 4K screen looks amazing in some youtube content as well, but I am really struggling to keep it even at that price. It also has touchID (or whatever Google calls it).
Edit: Everything I've seen has said MBA is the better purchase this Gen unless you do photo editing or want Touch Bar.
Edited to add: post typed up on the MacBook Air that will be returned to Best Buy after the new cheaper one gets delivered on Friday
I have one at the $800 price waiting for in store pick up at one store. I ordered another for pick up at a different store at the $750 price.
I was thinking of returning the $800 one as soon as I picked it up but couldn't I just wait for the order to cancel itself?
But I am still lost about the 2020 iMac, MBA and MBP all has the M1 processor... so wouldn't all of them perform about the same, if not similar? Like all the devices should be able to do the same task, without showing any lack in performance? This the part that kind of hold me back... since I do want a powerful personal laptop (for time if i want to do any video/photo editing, or anything that the 2020 iMac 24in is not capable in doing smoothly).
I think the new models this year will show a clear processor power bump but whether it's $250 worth is what I'm debating. I'm guessing no as most Macs hold up well for 5-7 years and that $250 I can save for my next Mac. Rumors are that MagSafe is coming back though and the TouchBar may get left behind.

I did return an open box I bot for $750 after a fudged price match but the warranty only had 6 months
my logic was that the $250 for the 6 months extra warranty would be worth it in the end
