As someone who has 3 different laptops from work including 16 m1 max with 64gb of RAM and 14 inch m1 pro with 32 GB of RAM, this 13 inch one is the one I'm constantly bringing around with me when I travel or work from coffee shops.

Absolutely amazing machine: I used to have issues with 50+ tabs in Firefox but then switched to Edge and the performance is back to perfect.

Anything from Photoshop to Excel to Davinci resolve works perfectly fine on this machine, but you need to be careful with browser tabs or use some decent browser that's good at managing memory.

Light, portable (probably the best form factor out of all recent Macs) and pretty capable overall

Glad these look like they've finally dropped under $700. What an insanely good value retention by Apple even after 2 years.

Is there a new version coming out soon? I see that Walmart, Best Buy, and Costco have aggressively cut the price.
The M3 Macbooks just came out.

Exactly! And a 90 Day Return Policy, 2% back for Executive level members, and many credit card cash back offers. Score!

If I bought one december 20 2023 and if I buy another today, can I return the unopened unit I purchase today in place of the open 2.75 months used one? same color and model, would that work?

This is the model ppl complain about screen cracking?
No, that's the M2 model with the slim bezels. M1 has better build quality.

Thank goodness Walmart canceled my order lol I bought this, but quick question…will this run windows WVD smoothly enough? I bought to work while traveling. I do use sql database to run a quick query, but everything else is excel/web. Hopefully someone can provide feedback. Thank you!
You have to use Parallels or VMware to run virtual windows.
On M1 you cannot partition the hard drive to run windows with boot camp. Hope that helps.

This is a very good deal especially with the 2nd year warranty covered by Costco.

I'd use a 3% on online purchases card like the BoA Customized Cash or Amex BCE.

Keep in mind this was originally released in 2020. Apple has historically supported Macs with the newest macOS software versions for an average of 5-6 years.

However my old 2013 Air got 7 years and still gets security updates.

over 3 yrs old. 8GB/256GB is a joke even in 2020.

Odd, I made two separate orders (one each color) and one just got cancelled.
