I still don’t believe it. M1 Air is $750 when it goes on sale. They already built it and I’m sure it sells a lot. If anything, I can see the M2 taking its place with M3 coming out since it is a newer design.
Right? Apple has never been this cheap before. I got my M2 mac Mini + upgraded ram and 3-year apple-care for $1,300 Canadian which is like $1,000USD? My Sister and I are going to grab the AIR for our Mom. When i was young you couldn’t buy 1 apple laptop for what I’m going to spend on the mini + Air.
Also I know in America they had some insane student deal for the Minis. I really don’t see how they could make it cheaper and who would not just cope for the AIR?
You could buy a Windows laptop that has similar speeds, more ram, more storage, and is cheaper than the M1 Air.
There isn’t much value in the M1 Air outside of it being cheaper than the M2 model for people. Plus, who wants to buy a 3 year old machine when you could buy a newer windows laptop for cheaper??
M1 Air will almost definitely be better than any similarly priced Windows laptop in terms of performance, build quality, trackpad and keyboard, and screen quality/resoution.
Yeah I’m intrigued… I’ll be in the market to replace my very old MBP but I am a basic user. Have my eye on the air so it will be interesting to see how it compares
Why not? They do this with the A series and the cheapest iPhones. Previous gens get knocked down and the one before is discontinued. I think it’s much more likely than not that the M series gets the same treatment with Airs.
The reason the iPhone 14 will get knocked down to the 13, which gets knocked down to the 12, etc. is because the base price at release has been the same.
The M1 released for $999. The M2 released for $1199. Sure the M2 details for 1099 today, but again that’s still higher than the M1 has ever cost. So that’s why I don’t see the M2 ever selling (new) for $750.

And base 14in MacBook pro can be down to $1700 in sale. Still insanely good.
Yes and if refurbished it will be around $1500

There’s this thing called battery life that 99% of people will prefer for a portable device.
Who? People who want to buy an Apple laptop versus windows.

Where have you seen an M1 for $750?
M2 is currently only $929 at B&H.
I see sub-700 on Amazon but it’s all Renewed. Best Buy is also $799 for renewed.
Best Buy, Costco, Amazon. Goes on sale all the time.
Sometimes the sale never ends and open box can bring it down to 700 dollars. But for 50 more it’s new
If you get it through the education store and were already planning on getting AirPods or something, it’s essentially $750 direct from Apple.
$900 base price + $150 apple gift card.
I got mine on sale for that exact price in 2021, black friday
I don’t see the M2 ever getting to $750
