After apple suddenly updated the MacBook Air, seems like 12-inch macbook cannot be found on the website anymore.

Too bad. That was a really cute laptop. Perfect for travelling. Maybe they are secretly working on a redesign to replace that.

Hopefully will have some clearance units for RM3k

I am surprised as well by the move but it does make sense as both models do canabalize each other's sales. I used to have the 12-inch and totally agree that it was the ultimate portable machine. Absolutely loved how slim and light it was.

yes. in terms of portability, it is the best.

i dun think they are going to do any redesign. i think they killed it becos the market for this model is too niche. too expensive.
if they are going to redesign, they will keep it like macbook air last time.

if have, pro do inform us. haha. last time i used to own the 2016 macbook m5 model but i sold it away and get the 2017 macbook pro touchbar instead.

if cheap, can buy to keep haha.

yes.. inform here.. surprised there is still people still love it... including myself

yeah. unique products. haha.

'limited' edition now.

I guess the new Air better than the 12"

macbook pro 12 not same feeling with macbook air?

i think the macbook pro 12 more solid when hold in hand

no, base model of macbook pro is better. it is just a little more ex than air.

there is no macbook pro 12-inch, it is macbook 12-inch.

solid wise to be frank, it is similar. but both macbook 12-inch and macbook air are having a 'wedge' shape while macbook pro is equal size for all edges which to me it looks better.

totally agreed with.. last time i hold the macbook 12 feel solid.. when try use mac air feel some empty while holding..

pro always better. what i mean between the 12" and macbook air hehe

to be fair. it is. bigger screen, more thunderbot 3 ports, cheaper price etc.

Ya, but the problem is my 2014 MacBook Air is still running fast and good. No excuse to change it

the current Macbook Air IS the Macbook 12"

yeah. that's the good thing aboit macbook. it is so lasting.

i really welcome their put 3 thunderbolt port... good move

Well, in case anyone is looking, I would like to sell mine.

Retina 12 inch, 2016 model, Space Grey
1.2 Ghz M5
8GB 1869 Mhz
Intel HD Graphics 515 1536 MB
500GB Flash Storage
Bought from Machines

After bringing it to Scandinavia for my Northern Light hunt end 2016, hardly ever use it as I have another Thinkpad X1 Carbon. Still in excellent condition.

So, if anyone is looking, let me know.

Yes, it indeed is a great balance of size, weight and mobility. Fits into my camera gear bag with ease and great batt life.

yup. in fact this is a revolution apple has done. they are the first one again to remove all ports and put in only one single usb-c on macbook 12-inch when it first launched.

from that point, u can see there is significant growth in usb-c accessories available in the market.

Machines is clearing it at RM4999 for the 256GB and RM5499 for the 512GB now.

thanks for sharing.

too bad the price is still not attractive to get.

the newly updated macbook air 256gb model (education price) is the same as this.

it is 2017 macbook vs 2019 macbook air here.

Aiyo, cannot every time compare using Edu prices la, hahaha...

That said, I wonder how much my MacBook Air (Early 2014, 256GB) can fetch in the used market... the retina display definitely looks so much better for watching movies

hahaha.

yeah. Retina display makes a big display. I believe for anyone who has used any Apple Retina display device like iPhone, cannot tahan non-retina display on MacBook Air.

haha. So bro, good excuse for u to upgrade ur macbook now.

Ok ok, I list my MacBook Air and see if any takers or not first, otherwise can't justify to the Mrs the need to spend RM5k

do inform here too when you post it
