I have a Macbook Air 8GB, M1, no matter what people say, if you just use it for MS Office, 8GB wont cut it and will slow down during heavy use all day for work. I have a 32GB mac now (studio i got for $1300 on marketplace) and full MS Office use sits at 12GB. This is a great deal, 16GB is min if you want to smoothly use just Office stuff.

This happens to be the worse color to keep it looking new/clean over time though, be aware.
Yes. I want silver or whatever they call it now.

I have the complete opposite experience with my base M1 macbook air. I use office all day with excel open and 20 odd chrome tabs/spotify/mail/ but never run into slowdown. I want to upgrade but dont see the point.

Is this the version where the 256GB SSDs are slower than the M1 255GB SSD?

Or only on M3 variants? Thx
Yes, single 256gb vs dual 128gb or some such nonsense iirc. Slightly slower in synthetic benchmarks. I have no real world comparison testing exp tho

In my opinion a good price for this option is $899.
Let me know when you find this laptop for $899. It may take 2 years. 😂

I agree. I have M1 8GB and it suffers from Chrome.

Why does Apple still insist on 256GB? It's 2024 nearly and storage is cheap. No reason they can't have a little something on the back that pops open and allows an nvme drive expansion if they are going to be chinch.

I was caught up in this too while debating whether to get one or the other. However, is there even that difference in speed in real world that would have noticeable difference in performance? I mean I would like to get top of the line machine for that price but what if the difference is only milliseconds 🤷🏼 ♂️

512Gb and they have the sale. 256 would be OK if speed was not crippled
