Apple's $599 MacBook Neo Sold Out Through April 2026 Amid Surging Demand

Imo Apple has been no slouch at figuring out what consumers care about and giving it to them. Over a decade ago I bought my first Apple laptop because the MacBook Air had the best battery life on the market, and it wasn’t even close. As a bonus, it also had great build quality and was conveniently v

A billionaire and a college student have the same phone and laptop

That's about $7,400. Billionaires should get a maxed out MacBook Air though, an MBP is bulky and heavy and I can't figure out what anyone would need 128GB RAM and an 8 TB SSD for in their home laptop. If it's just about spending money, buy a golden toilet to sit on while shit posting on X. A maxed o

Come on Adam, that is not normal for a $1,999 laptop.

A MacBook Air is very thin too, and it does not do that, lol

Have you ever switched to a rival brand as a customer, if so, how's that going for you?

I’ll catch shit for this but going from a Windows laptop to a MacBook has been fantastic. I still have a PC I built for myself, and I still use it for gaming…. But otherwise I use my laptop for most everything else. I bought in with the MacBook Air when they first released the M1 chips in 2020 becau

What is the first nice thing you bought for yourself?

MacBook air. It's a really good investment as a college student who's also doing some work online. I used to think that I won't be able to purchase it until I'm a fully grown adult, but I was wrong. This may look small for some, but it's a kind of achievement for me :D

Wondering if ipadpro + magic keyboard would be suitable for my needs

I used my iPad Pro M4 for about 8 months with Magic Keyboard and a Magic Mouse. Overall it did most of what I needed, I could have email, calendar, safari, pages and numbers as well as chatGPT open at the same time using sidecar. I also have the 11” nano screen version. I just bought a 15” MacBook A

Fusion 360 lags on my MacBook

It's also a MacBook Air. OP, the Air is intended to be an ultra-portable where you're sacrificing many things in exchange for a laptop that weighs almost nothing. ETA: mostly ignore me. FWIW, that GIF looks like a buttery smooth 30fps, which is acceptable unless you're trying to make money playing C

Keyboard for cover band

What about a secondhand M1 MacBook Air or whatever secondhand MacBook Pro so you can keep your setup? iPad is also a possibility with Camelot

College laptop recs?

For film/video editing, prioritize RAM and SSD over touchscreen stuff. I’d probably look at a refurbished or student discount MacBook Air M2/M3 with 16GB RAM if you can stretch it a bit, those things handle editing surprisingly well while staying light and quiet. On Windows, Lenovo Legion Slim or AS

I just bought the M5 MacBook Air and the iPad feels completely USELESS. Change my mind.

I have a MacBook Air M4 and a iPhone 15 Pro Max. I’ve always loved iPads and have pretty much always owned one, but this is the first time I’ve genuinely questioned whether buying another iPad Pro actually makes sense for me anymore. I keep looking at the 11 inch iPad Pro because the OLED screen loo
