I doubt normal users will notice any difference… Anyways, am disappointed they didn’t see fit to bring back the HDMI port on the MBA like they did for the MBP 14. RM1k difference just for the new chip is a bit of an ask for most people.

Wanted to upgrade my old intel macbook air (though just 3 years old) to this new one. Love the midnight blue color. but that price is just too much for me. Think need to save for another year or two.

for the currency hike recently, I think the price for this m2 MBA will keep rising.
But hopefully it will not.

Look at the M1 8-core CPU, 8-Core GPU 512GB, I think that is a good machines. RM5,399...slightly bad camera, older chip...but more storage.

the colours options given suprisingly are not as colourful as per the rumours. but still not bad colours.

looks nice indeed... but find that adding a bit more can get 512GB macbook pro 14-inch actually.

The M1 Air is being retained as the base model now. Maybe look at the M1 Pros to see if got good bargain now that it has been discontinued.
