Nice early BF deal. Was just eyeing this model at BestBuy/Costco last week when they were on sale for $1,049. Decided to wait. Now that I know the price will indeed drop, I might see if there will be a deal on the 16GB/512GB version as we get closer to BF. -Edit- I'm a dumb dumb who can't read. This is the Air. I had been eyeing the Pro for the price mentioned above. The wait continues!

A good price for a great computer. I will say I grabbed an 8GB one like this first and while I was happy with it I was soon hitting swap memory fairly regularly.

As far as I could ever tell that didn't really affect my day to day usage at all but I opted to return it for a 16GB version so that it is more capable longer into the future because otherwise I absolutely love this machine and don't see needing to upgrade for a long time.

Odd that someone would use Microsoft Edge on MacOS.
Why? It's just an enhanced Chrome.

Yes, when we were told we could work remote, I decided "let's truly go remote" and I pulled up an oasis in the desert as my office.

Not sure that argument makes sense. A portable drive by definition is a storage media and its primary function is to store (massive amounts of) data. So yes it should have much more storage than a measly phone.

If you really did not get the other person's comment, it meant that it's a effing crying shame that a MacBook Air laptop which is a full function computing device has lesser storage than a phone that is supposed to be an ancillary computing device.

At this rate if Apple keeps skimping on these base laptop specs, with a slight exaggeration we could say that a day will come when other laptops would have more memory than storage on a MacBook!!!

You do realize you can customize it to get the specs you want/need, right? Like, the feature they've offered for 15+ years now? No one is forcing you to get the base model specs.

And your phone probably cost more.

A 256gb iPhone Pro Max is $1199 MSRP for reference.
Genuinely asking, not trying to argue, what do people store on laptops? I can only think of word and excel.

Depends on what the person uses it for. Documents, photos, music, movies, working files, etc. I think there are better options than onboard storage but that's up to the end user to determine.

Why would what someone stores change on laptop vs. desktop?

You do realize many people only have one or the other, right? And that it's common in the working environment to only give out laptops now, to everyone?

Desktop too. I don't understand using a MacBook Air for storage.

Because you buy it as your one Mac and you need to store all your stuff on there.

I don't see why I would distinguish between "laptops -> light storage" and "desktops -> heavy storage" - to me that makes no sense. It's as if you're saying laptops can't do everything that a typical user needs... ?

I don't, I don't get why anyone needs more than 256 storage on a non production desktop either. 99.9% of people haven't seen a digital camera since 2010. I guess SOME people somewhere transfer their photos I guess. If ur doing editing why would you use an air? Even editors use external ssd

So editing people can't use a MacBook Air?

Where in the world do you get these rules?
Who makes them up?
Who approves them?

Does it work? Yes.
Is the Pro faster? Of course. I think everyone knows that.
Does the Air still have a place? Absolutely.

This absolutism is absurd. Air (or laptops) only doing Word and Excel? That's insane.

MaxTech isn't what I would call a high quality reviewer, more a sensationalist.
