so what's the consensus on the airs now? I've seen so many issues with the display cables being damaged from normal use which causes the display to stop working. and now that they've been out for a while, it's becoming more apparent since it is "time" that was needed to see this issue. does anyone know if apple did anything in the m2 airs to prevent this? ppl say that the airs will last 5-6 years... well not if the display ribbon cable isn't properly protected and fails due to damage from normal usage. i'm sure an apple consumer will just be like "pay for the apple care" but then it's like... ??? i'm buying a product that is defective and apple care is basically required now? it's crazy how many ppl say apple products are quality products but then they always say you better get apple care tho... if it was quality.. u wouldn't need apple care

Just commenting on this my M1 Air with a shot screen. I closed it at my desk and woke up with a large black bar through my screen. Quoted $600-$800 to fix it. I can either try a cheap $200 eBay panel repair with the risk of breaking it or just suck it up and buy an M2. Either way, was pretty upset to have one of the most essential parts of this machine give up on me after two years. Hoping to hear something else about display fixes otherwise I'm going to have to suck it up and spend extra on AppleCare

No 8GB with 256GB. Too slow. That's why they are selling it. On October, new M3 chip is coming.
too slow? unless you're a power user you wont be able to tell the difference, and if you are a power user you should be looking at the MBP14, also when the m3 comes out it will be at least $1100 which is not a slick deal.

I have a cheap HP that has lasted me 5 years. The only thing that needed to be replaced was the battery which I got compensated through Costco warranty. The new battery functions like the old one did day one. I wouldn't be surprised I can squeeze out another 3-4 years out of this before the CPU is too outdated. I would hope something like this would last a lot longer than 5-6 years.

I'm not criticizing Apple. I have an iPhone and generally find their build quality vastly superior to other companies, especially for portable devices, but it's weird that people justify paying extra by saying it'll "last longer". I just don't find that to be the case anymore considering how cheap and better PC hardware has gotten over the years.

Okay, and M3 chip will probably have the same configuration, 8GB w 256GB. Your comment makes no sense

"Worth it" is subjective. What is your use case?

If you qualify for educational pricing, Apple sells the 13.6" M2 8/256GB MacBook Air for $999 with:
  • $150 gift card (promotion ends Oct 2nd)
  • Discount on AppleCare+ if purchased with the laptop
  • Easy trade-in for old laptop (we got almost $400 for my wife's 2020 Intel 8/256GB MacBook Air a week-and-a-half ago)
Was hesitant to buy a computer with only 8 GB RAM in 2023, but getting the base model meant we could pick it up immediately.

For general use (web/video/email/docs/simple spreadsheets), her M2 MBA crushes my Asus G14 (Ryzen 9, 40 GB RAM), though obviously the G14 wins when it comes to gaming and other CPU intensive tasks (or anything that needs a lot of memory).

Fast, fanless, cool, lightweight, vibrant screen (though only 60 Hz), no chassis flex, excellent keyboard, superb touchpad, and battery lasts forever. Sweet little machine.
Thanks - this is the better deal.
Parents of K-12 qualify.

They gave me $510 for my 2020 M1 Air. Under $400 net of gift card for the upgrade, not bad (but also not necessary!)

Just an FYI they are only offering trade-ins for old Apple laptops. If you selection "other" during the trade in option they go straight to "We'll recycle it for you."

12 GB is expected to be the new norm but yea apple is super stingy with ram, which is so cheap nowadays. I miss being able to upgrade myself.

I don't plan to but anything from BestBuy again, last summer I found a deal and I bought AirPods. I had a problem and service said that the AirPods I bought from BestBuy is not original. I couldn't believe that and visit another Apple service and they said the same thing. It's FAKE. I talked with BestBuy but they didn't change with an original AirPods or refund the money. I had a bad experience

Was the airpod sealed or did you buy open box?

Not Sealed or openbox. Be careful buying AirPods from BestBuy. After that problem I found many comments on internet , many people had the same FAKE AirPods problem from BestBuy

What? Either the box was sealed (brand new) or you bought it open box (customer return).

"Not sealed or open box" doesn't make any sense.

Just do a Google search for BestBuy fake AirPods and you will find many victims like me
