Mastodon: Jason Lefkowitz / @jalefkowit@octodon.social : “This is lower than the $999 that Apple was asking for the laptop just a few weeks ago, and it's lower than the $759 that the M1 Air goes for in Apple's refurbished store.”  —  https://arstechnica.com/...

This is great. $699 for a laptop that will actually last you. Austen Allred / @austen : This is perhaps the best price:quality ratio I've ever seen in a laptop. I still use my M1 MacBook Air and don't feel a need to upgrade because it's that fast. Sam Snelling / @snellingio : Hope we see Apple move down market more, even if it is previous tech! @panzer : Super interesting from a pricing/demand/supply perspective. Off-siting it allows them to exit the line earlier. @dhh : I've given Apple a lot of grief lately, but it brings me no pain to say that this might be the best deal I've ever seen on a laptop. PC laptops have still not caught up to the M1 on most metrics. Buying PA Semi was maybe the best tech acquisition of all time.

    Something so apparent right now amid this new Walmart deal is that too many people don't understand just how good even four year old Apple Silicon is.  The old rules don't apply anymore.
