sorted byIt's more powerful, uses less power, battery lasts longer and is super quiet as it has very little heat given off and no fans whizzing.
Obvious all Apple products are overpriced to some degree but this is probably their best value laptop.
First they said I can’t return as opened/used. Then they said I could. Doesn’t fill me with confidence at all. I know someone who returned an item that they then lost, that they still charged for. Total mess that was.
First and last time I’ll order from them. Useless.
Give it a try though - may get lucky.
Ram upgradeable ?
I keep thinking of trying something different. Might go for a 16" laptop if some variety and put Ubuntu on.
The battery is the best on the market in it's category.
Finally upgraded my mid 2012 macbook pro
But if purpose of MacBook is typing notes and writing papers, this is an exceptional bargain for £611 with berry 20% intro offer code.
Anything much different, in Apple Laptop World, perhaps means the MacBook Pro 16”, M1 16gb 512gb (or 1tb), which Costco and Very have some good pricing on. 16” is much better for design work, and it has hdmi for easier monitor connection - although I think usb-c to hdmi connector works with MacBook Air, haven’t checked myself, but planning to.
Personally speaking - If MacBook Air M1 does the job, it’s less weight/value/risk to carry around, you can add the iPad 9th gen 64gb for £229 (287 less 20%) - 2 incredible bargains - then take the £1k you save over 16” pro, put it in post office premium bonds, or a single company share, and that might pay for a needed/desired upgrade in 4/6+ years.
When the price of ONE item/product (pro), can actually buy you TWO (entry base level), its probably TOO EXPENSIVE for most circumstances. (edited)
