At 4.5k i think for base model is good though.

Cuz MS treat MacOS office user as 2nd class citizen. I hate MS.

True true, at least now got ALT keys even though half baked. I wonder if their Excel for Windows 11 ARM have the feature disparity.

Anyone here use Win11 ARM & Excel?

I've tested Excel on Win11 ARM. To my memory, it's the same as their Windows version (but to be fair, I didn't check the Data section).

That being said, with my limited experience on Win11 ARM, it's just not performant enough for my tastes - so I run proper Windows on other machines and VM's and RDP to them via Tailscale to use anything Win-based.

got the base MBA M4 from ITworld for 3.8k yesterday after deduction 500 off voucher

Tot of getting from ITWorld too, but it takes longer delivery due to pre-order
It's a good deal though.

Got mine from Switch RM3970, arrive next Monday/Tuesday.

Updates: MBA M4 reached me within two days, received on 17/Jun (Sat) after placing order on 15/Jun morning.

should have gotten 24gb/512 to future proof. chip may be good, but another 2 years the ram and storage will be limiting factor.

m1 mba user here, using a non-"future proof" base model, no issue after using it since 2021 until now...2025 and still counting

Same here also. Still have 2 mbam1s 8/256 in use. The only limitation encountered is cannot run the larger AI models. Everything else A-OK and honestly feels as fast as new mbam4 for regular stuff.

same 2021 mba M1 but mine is 16/256. my only issue is the storage but solved via external SSDs. other than that, all still good even my battery still at 87% capacity.

Yep, later if needed can also upgrade the internal storage

How many of you guys get apple care? is it worth it from your POV? first time MacBook user here. Much appreciated.

it depends. i didn't get Apple Care+ for my mac mini.but I did purchase Apple Care+ for my m1 mba. also to my iphone.
