M4 Macbook Airs

These were just announced and will be available next Wed.

They have the new M4 chips, a better camera and start with 16GB of memory and 256GB of storage.
The 13" starts at $999 ($899 via Apple Education)
The 15" starts at $1199 ($1099 via Apple Education)

I think these prices are actually $100 less than the previous gen Macbook Airs. That's nice to see

$100 less with double the DRAM is nice, the 256GB SSD has to go now...

IMO the base model M4 Mac Mini is decent deal at $599. I'd buy it and attach larger external storage to it, and if the internal SSD dies it's now user upgradable.


The MacBooks are nice, but for the price of a M4 MacBook I can buy 4 Dell Inspiron 15's. Couldn't really justify the higher cost.

You buy it for the status. My kids when in college will not use any Windows laptop
