I feel the pricing makes for a very good experience at a very accessible price. I think an Air is a great starting point for aspiring programmers and designers alike. Just upgrade the memory and maybe the storage and you’re ready to go.

When I started programming I felt as if I couldn’t even think about purchasing anything less than a MacBook Pro. And though purchased refurbished, it was still a chunk.

You could even go for a Mini if you knew you didn’t need the portability.

Just found the time to go through the presentation. Interesting stuff. Am I right that the only difference between the MBA and the MBP is the cooling fan, enabling the MBP to run longer?

I’ve been burnt almost every time I’ve bought a Mac right out of the gate, without giving things a few months to cool off - even this 16" MBP had to go back for repairs - but the performance increases Apple is claiming are pretty dramatic. I’m very curious to see how the new M1 MBP benchmarks vs. my 16" Intel MBP.

Where Next?
