    A 12+ year old design with 8GB RAM. Not exactly a bargain

    Honestly wouldn’t worry about the 8GB, the person with the kind of workflow that needs 16GB on an M1 knows it already.

    Still use my launch day M1 8GB/256 with hearthstone on a second external monitor, 4K YouTube, safari tabs, WhatsApp, email and Spotify all open at once and never notice slow downs. The battery life is the icing on the cake and incomparable to most laptops in its price/spec range

    At this point in time, I would expect the M2 Macbook Air to be this sort of price. There have been a few deals recently for the M2 at circa £850.
    The M1 should be nearer £600-650 in my opinion. It's been available at various places for £750 ish for years. (edited)

    I paid £530 for this exact same model from Amazon warehouse in 2021. Turned up brand new with no charge cycles, this isn't a great price in 2024.
    dreadtheweekend's avatar
    Good point. But are we here for a great price or are we here for the best price right now? If this is the laptop you want and you want to buy it new from a reliable company then this is the best offer on the table.

    It is a slow 4 year old machine but if it means you can avoid using Windows then it's an absolute bargain.
    Johno-22's avatar
    It isn't a slow machine in the slightest. It's got the M1 chip it's rapid.
    Grow up

    I bought my Macbook in 2010...still going strong. When will people realise Mac equipment last longer than PCs.
    kestrel1960's avatar
    Agreed. My mid 2012 iMac bought new still going strong with a great screen even after all these years.
    This M1 MacBook Air still worth buying at this price.

    Very capable laptop - don’t underestimate the M1.

    I have this machine (well, the 512GB version) and it’s great. I got it from Amazon 2.5 years ago for just over £600 on an Amazon Warehouse Black Friday deal.

    However, whilst I realise that was an amazing deal at the time (it was pristine with over 10 months AppleCare left), I can’t help feeling that after two new versions, £749 is too expensive for a 2020 machine.

    Nevertheless, this is probably still a deal, given that it’s difficult to find it cheaper.

    paid this at launch on the Curry's deal – great machine (using it now), but seems a bit odd to pay same as I did years ago now.

    PS. 8GB RAM is fine on an M1, I use Adobe Creative Suite, Office + tonnes of tabs in different browsers for work all day. Anyone saying otherwise probably doesn't have/use one...

    Does this have a soldered SSD?
    Edit: not soldiered, but thanks autocorrect (edited)

    Mirroring that thought...If only people were as passionate about world peace as some are about apple products

    Best laptop ever made. go for 1TB 16gb
  14. martin_dean's avatar
    Ime using a 10 year old imac still works perfect for web browsing etc
  15. paulj48's avatar
    I use this for running Lightroom Classic and Photoshop with 8GB memory just fine.

    Apple definitely over-engineered this machine and it cannibalised into next MBA iterations. Base MBA M2 is actually worse than the base MBA M1 due to the lower SSD bandwidth.
  17. gabs_777's avatar
    Love mine, but wish I got more storage I frequently need to dump stuff to external drive….
  18. Jyoosi's avatar
    Cold, for the obvious reasons... Obviously.

    M2 should be this price. Hopefully the new Snapdragon notebooks will push down the Apple tax, but it's doubtful.

    Despite what the fruit loyalists and apple marketing will tell you, 8GB wasn't enough in 2020 let alone 2024. You don't see the swap memory being used when you go over 8GB because the OS is busy eating away at your non-replaceable SSD.

    £750 is an awful lot of money for planned obsolescence. You have 2-3 years before it's discontinued into a pile of e-waste. But hey, as long as you can listen to your ch00nz while scrolling Facey B then £750 is well worth it right? /S

    For those who genuinely don't know, you get about 7 years of OS updates if you're lucky with MacOS. It's one of those weird grey areas that before Windows 11 came along, Microsoft actually had the upper hand here... But that also means using Windows which has its own set of issues.

    When I use Mac OS or even iOS I have apple constantly telling me to get Apple News Plus, but on Windows they're trying to steal my Chrome data and install chat gpt. Not sure what's worse yet. (edited)

    8GB will still be enough for this entry levels laptops target market in 2030.... forget not being enough in 2020.
  19. macphist0's avatar
    Astonishing laptop and still a great price... but this was $650 at Costco in America, why is that level of deal making it over the atlantic yet!

    I see you don't know how US sales taxes work

    I bought the 16GB 1TB version of this for £999 last September and I'm loving it, I edit/colour grade 4k 10-bit Panasonic S5 video on da Vinci resolve and it handles it fine. I haven't pushed it with heavy post production on longer projects yet though.
