Unless you just surf internet with less than 10 tabs open, 8GB RAM isn't enough and will eat into the swap memory. Wish there is a deal on 16GB to jump on
Apparently you have no idea how a MacBook (esp the recent ones) and its RAM work.
Bet you haven't even used one.

Don't know if I wanna get this deal too! I have a M1 Mac mini at home and have bought into the Apple ecosystem (iPhone, iPad, AirPods) however the iPad isn't cutting it for my college classes. Don't know if it would be dumb to pick up the M1 MacBook Air or just get a cheap windows laptop. Plus I don't know if I'd end up abandoning my M1 Mac mini at home

Sure. Place a bet. There is a thing called activity monitor to check this

This laptop is the best value for money. I've had it for 2 years, and it's still running like a beast.
FYI: this configuration is faster than the same configuration for the M2 MacBook Air since it uses 2x128GB SSD chips compared to 1x256 SSD chip for the M2, allowing parallel storage access.

If you have kids, consider the newer Macbooks with a Magsafe charger.

Dang, I posted the deal 4 hours ago yet this one got traction 😅.

On a side note, there's whole thread from a costco deal for the MPB version of this laptop (same spec's except 8gpu core).

They perform similarly but the MBA runs hotter while the MBP performs slightly better and has longer battery life.

This deal is cheaper but Costco comes with a 2 year warranty. Im stuck debating between the two although leaning towards the Costco deal

Do you get the same 2 yr warranty if you purchase this one using the Costco credit card?

No price is low enough to justify a completely soldered PC. This is e-waste.

The last time it was this low was best buy 2 years ago. Definitely worth it at this price. Can do anything you throw at it even with this low RAM, except heavy video editing. I also have an m1 mac book pro but find myself reaching for this one a lot since much easier to carry around.
It was $779 at Microcenter/Costco less than 1 year ago.

It's 1 yr manufacturer (apple) and 2 yrs with Costco/Citi credit card. And 90 days to return for a full refund if you change your mind.

I would hope 8gb can handle 10 tabs, my 4gb 2015 Macbook air has more than 10 tabs open right now without slowdown.

8GB RAM, 256: A disposable-within-4-years Mac for the ignorant masses who don't know the downsides of these issues. Once the flash storage is burned up via intense swap file re-writing, it'll be time to pay for a new one and to throw this one in the recycling bin.

OK for basic non-demanding computing, nothing more. Then again, the same can be said for the similarly-configured Macbook (so-called) "Pro"-not-a-Pro that costs $200 more at Costco.
