Jason Snell@caseyliss they chose to go with $599 instead.
@jsnell Yeah, that’s the thing. This is far and away the better choice for Apple.
But I want a multi-trillion dollar company to cater to my wants and needs.

sukh@caseyliss @jsnell except it’s really a $699 device.

Not only is this baby MacBook got terrible name but to confirm the rumours that it has A18 Pro instead of A19 Pro is insane to me when they got A19 Pro in an iPhone Air! Sure I get that they need to meet a price point but ultimately the one most people should be getting is the 512gb version, not only because 256gb is utterly ridiculous in 2026 but more importantly the target market won’t want a password to type in! So really this is a £699 device. iPhone Air can be had externally for £799.

Or 499/599 devices with the educational pricing and the inevitable sale pricing.
I’d go with the 599 Touch ID if I can’t scrap my pennies for a MacBook Air. Or for my kid.
