You can run certain local models in 16GB now if you don't have anything else open. However, be aware that the M1-5, M1-5 Pro, M1-5 Max, and M1-5 Ultra all have different memory bandwidth levels. If you want to run models quickly you need the Max or Ultra to get the 400Gb/s or 800GB/s bandwidth.

How slick is this in today's market? And will this be obsolete in a couple years (given updates likely will end soon from what many have commented)?

Better than the Neo

Only risk is Apple discontinuing support earlier, but it is still very performant

I have a Mac Studio M4, M1 Air and M5 Air. The M1 Air is still very competitive for day to day use.

There were a boatload of 8/256 and even a few 8/128 models (they were EDU-only when originally released). Imagine getting a beat-up kids laptop, after six years of use, with zero actual refurbishment (wipe down and power test is all they do). And then having only 128gb of storage. Hmm.
Ok, I'm imagining. Am I imagining what is being offered here? Have people posted that that's what they're getting when they order this? Or are you just doommusing and accidentally typing your daydream here and hitting the post button?

"kids laptop" what are you even talking about? this series of chips revolutionized the industry more than anything in the prior decade at least lol

Not very slick. This machine is six years old...it's very close to being end-of-life.
why comment when you don't know what you're talking about? these are some of the most capable and reliable "entry-level" laptops ever released, and it's not even reasonable to call this entry-level when it has the upgraded ram

It's a good deal. Just not good enough for something 6 years used. The ~$300 8gb deal from a few months ago was for essentially new old stock with apple warranties.

The 8gb/128gb model was EDU only -- primary and secondary schools were only allowed to buy them.

Can't wait for when Apple completely drops support and I can get one for cheap and install Linux. And can't wait for the AI bubble to pop
They are still selling these brand new. The micronchip manufacturers run for longer than you think.
