  • Glad finally they have 15 inch AIR laptop at a reasonable price; 16GB RAMS now standard. Their laptops easily lasts 5 to 10 years - so well worth the price.

    • You're lucky if you get 3-4 years out of a Mac because Apple drops support fast and expects you to spend $$$ on services. Chromebooks get a guaranteed 10-year update cycle and are far more useful in the classroom at a fraction of the cost.

      • Yeah no that's flat out wrong. Chromebooks bought after 2021 are guaranteed a 10 year update cycle from date of platform release, not date of purchase. In comparison as an example, Apple supports the late 2014 mac mini (released Oct 2014) through the end of MacOS Monterrey EOS and that operating system is still getting updates as of right now. So that's now more than 10 years of updates for a machine released 7 years before Google instituted their policy. As another example, the latest macOS (Sequoia) was released on Sept 2024. At release it was supported on macs as old as 2017. So clearly what you are saying is rubbish.

      • That’s not true at all. Apple offers service for a minimum of 5 years of service after a product was discontinued. So if (for example) a product was bought on launch day and was sold for two years before being discontinued, that would mean a minimum of 7 total years of service (software and hardware).

        And there are examples of Apple supporting a product with software and hardware updates for even longer than 7 years.

        • (I want to edit my above reply for grammatical mistakes and clarity reasons, but the edit-window closes so quickly. Oh well, lol.)

    • Apple devices can be expensive, but they are still useful in many use cases. MacBooks are near unrivaled in the laptop space. We in this space can stack and get discounts. Recently stacked PayPal + Instacart + shopping portal to get an iPad for ~$150. If your existence is that miserable, go troll elsewhere.

      • >Recently stacked PayPal + Instacart + shopping portal to get an iPad for ~$150

        Mind sharing how you went about this? I'm about to pull the trigger on an iPad and would love to get one for $150

    • Wow, that definitely changed my mind about Apple products. Back to using messenger pigeons!

    • MacOS is arguably the most polished/user friendly Unix distributions available and the most recent generation of Apple silicon can run a local LLM very well on a consumer computer. Doesn’t seem very hard for me to imagine wanting to use an Apple product.

    • 100%. but its not the apple products. its the brainwashing marketing which created the consumer cult and the characters it attracts.

  • Amazon is still way cheaper... Thats why I still have 1k apple credit since 2020 lmao.

    • You’ve been saying that for years (assuming you are the person I’m thinking of… who has been saying that for years, lol).

      Regardless of its cheaper on Amazon, you’ve essentially already bought a MacBok Air directly from Apple. (Or $1000 worth of something else sold directly by Apple.)

      Apple already has your money. They have had it since 2020. You just haven’t collected your item(s) from them yet, lol.

    • Yes. And that’s why it’s a back to school sale — because students aren’t at school right now, lol.

    • Around here, kids have been out of school for well over a month and head back to the classroom in about 40 days.

    • Apple is hurting from decreased consumer spending. They'll just make up sales events to get rid of inventory.

    • It goes in lime with state sales tax breaks which in many cases make this no tax. Like in Florida.

      • They dont want to get stuck and maybe got those items out of China prior to all the tariff increases.

    • Any kind of seasonal sale is in creep mode at this point. Retailers want to be the first to get your dollar. Costco already has Christmas wrapping paper out in some stores.
