FYI to those comparing this to an M1 Air… this has a 25% brighter screen, twice as many ports, better speakers, a Touch Bar, a larger trackpad, and support for more external displays. The more appropriate comparison is to the 13-inch Pro with M1, which is literally the exact same computer with an M1 instead of an i5. That one with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD is $1579 in the EDU store, $1699 regular, so you will be paying at least $480 more just for the M1 with all else being equal.

I do think the M1 Air would be a better choice than this for many people, but I just wanted to make people aware of the differences and that the M1 Air is not as good in some ways.

This is a great price but the M1 is really, really nice. If you need bootcamp or eGPU then this is for you. Otherwise the M1 is vastly superior in every way.

I know this will get a plethora of Thumbs Down. But for those looking for an Intel Mac for various Software reasons, or to Bootcamp instead of Parallels (until the IF the Apple Processor's can be used with Bootcamp), this is a pretty good deal. It is only $100 more than the Micro Center clear out a little while back at $999.

No. M1 Air would murder this thing and open box be cheaper.

I wouldn't buy an Intel MacBook even if it was lower, just not worth it with the M1s.

This shouldn't be thumbs downed. I've done this multiple times and they're all legit.

My parents are asking for a new MacBook, they are using a 2012 MacBook Pro. They are pretty basic people. Just want to be able to video chat and play videos. Nothing heavy duty. With that in mind, this is a perfectly capable laptop right? Tech won't be too old for those things they want to do for years to come?

Just get office 365 and it comes with windows 10. There's deals on here for that all the time. Like around $50-$70 a year subscription. Not free but a good value
No, Office 365 does not come with Windows 10 unless you are an Enterprise customer and pay for one of their very expensive Enterprise plans.

Would an iPad be a cheaper option for such low-power usage?

This is only a decent deal if storage is a priority in a laptop

If you need SSD and don't want to break the bank this is the only decent way for 1/2 a TB of ssd; at the very least you get a 2.5k screen but battery is abysmal versus m1

If you can charge it often then it's a nonissue
Keyboard is improved magic keyboard

Main take away is if you have all the usbc to cope with it other wise m1 has more ports and justifies the price

It would, but a typical user would need to buy an external keyboard with trackpad to have a similar experience.

I suggest a current Macbook Air.

If you like pirating software and buying stereo speakers off the back of a truck.

Why not just buy a Wintel laptop?
You could. You get Apple quality and a better binned i5 with the Mac. And the ability to run both OSes is nice. Sometimes I miss my Mac but like the ability to run Windows too.
