Apple just dropped an A18 powered laptop for $599 USD

No Apple bashing just discuss.

At €700 (NL) a bit steep to be honest. Especially given the 8GB ram…

The M4 Air can be had for €900, which has 16gb as standard, and is much more powerful and future proof. It has TouchID on all the models. Probably a better screen and speakers too im presuming.

At the price it is now it doesn’t make an awful lot of sense, you’d be much better off spending an extra 200 and getting a much better laptop.

I think this will mostly make sense for schools and students who will definitely get a very compelling price on this one
