I just grabbed the 13 inch air for my son. Perfect for his first laptop
Agree completely - picked one up for my daughter in college. Perfect for her needs and for $800, it's a great deal for an Apple laptop. The processor was bumped up in the summer of this year, so it's not like it hasn't seen updates through the years.
Serious question: what’s wrong with buying this MacBook Air mid 2017?!?
Absolutely nothing wrong with buying one if it suits your needs. But for those who don't want to buy a device knowing that there are other models with greater performance, capacity, and hardware that exist, then the Macbook Air is a non-starter.
My 2014 4GB/128GB 11" MBA is still going strong. There's something to be said for a macOS device that is slightly larger than an iPad. Sadly, the 11" MBA has been discontinued, but if I had to replace my MBA today, I would have no problem picking up the 13"... especially at $200 off.
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro are Apple's newest iPhones and follow last year's iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro, but how different are the two latest models, and what exactly does a "Pro" device offer?
