Geez, we never get these sales in Canada. It's still CA$1299 / US$938 at Amazon.ca for the base 8 / 256 GB M2 Air.
I guess I'll just stick with the original plan and wait until next year for the base 16 GB M4, and buy it edu during the Back-To-School promotion. I'm guessing it will be US$1199 retail, with 256 GB storage.
Always the base RAM models getting the super discount. :(
Does Amazon even sell the 16 GB M2? It's not a standard retail SKU. It's a Configure-To-Order model.
16 GB didn't become a standard retail MacBook Air SKU until M3.
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?
