It may take some weeks on end but really want to read the review first if the heat sink really works and fanless ???

Just look at apple advertisement all are good , no heat no nothing and everything else is faster .

Wait for honest review then only can know how good it is as promised .

The reason I move to Chromebook is because its fanless and no crazy heat like my Macbook Air right now.

No verify. Just buy only. Recently bought iPad Air via education price using my normal email. No knocking on door.

No additional information required? Damn, that is easier than getting a student pricing on Spotify.

I thought i heard Tim Cook says available globally during the event, but Malaysia until today still not part of 'global' in Apple's terminology.

Anxious about the review of this, and i almost bought it the day it was announced. The only thing holding me back was the "Unavailable currently."

Our lion neighbour surprisingly did not get first wave. So I think it would be a hell while b4 we can get our hands on it.

Alternate between the two when I am out and about since its having longest battery life and no need to find power point until night time.

It is game-changing for sure. Windows laptops such as Dell XPS and Microsoft Surface Laptop/Book used to be viable competitors to the MBA/MBP, now the gap is so wide they are left in the dust.

With M1 so far ahead, in 2-3 years time Apple could potentially sell M1 Macs at a significantly lower price and they will still be faster than Intel PCs. Just like their strategy with iPhone and iPad.

Curious MacBook Air 256gb with 8gb ram is enough to use? Maybe for normal use and light weight coding

Based on the reviews, the 8gb ram machine performed better than the 16gb intel version in photo editing software.

So it's safe to say that the new 8gb ram is the new 16gb while 16gb is the new 32gb... icon_idea.gif innocent.gif

About the 256gb storage, should not enough. tongue.gif
