What? Apple is still releasing good laptops, m1 makbook air was unmatched for its price for like 2+ years and is still a machine that can last 6-10 hours under workload

[–] Zrybew@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Absolutely! Great machines indeed, I have one.

However, the sub-$1k market is under served with iPads only.

I think a 12 inches M1 Macbook can do some serious damage at this price range.

The base M1 MacBook Air is regularly (and currently) on sale for $750 at major retailers like Best Buy, Costco, and Amazon. MSRP is still $1000, though.

I guess (in their mind) their laptops are "premium" product and making a cheap one will lead to brand damage.

Plus, I remember how bad was previous 12 inch macbook, people will probably be very catious about it (if they ever make one)

I don't think there is touchscreen support still, also not sure if they have a 2in1 option. As well, any non gaming laptop I've used in the past whothehellknowshowlong has had great battery life, even the cheap used convertible Chromebooks I install Windows 11 on have pretty great battery life. Definitely does more than a MacBook Air and for a lot less

are you really trying to say that chromebook can do more than m1 macbook lol

please show me an example of working in blender with chromebook

[–] The_Mixer_Dude@lemmus.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Touchscreen, tablet mode.

[–] delirium@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I wanted to use the touchscreen, I'd rather get a tablet or use my phone. I would like to see the capability to open actual apps, not just chrome. In this case, even ipad is more capable than chromebooks because it can actually run lots of stuff, even video editing software.

[–] The_Mixer_Dude@lemmus.org 1 points 1 year ago

We are talking about Chromebooks running Windows. Not Chromebooks running ChromeOS

You are so far behind in tech news my dear friend.
