A bit sad they didn’t also release a Mac mini with the same CPU’s. (Hold on, it’s not I don’t really ‘need one’ )
If I didn’t have a perfectly good 2017 15” I would be buying for sure, now if only they would make a follow on to the 12” MacBook that would be perfect.
Damn those ssd upgrade prices though I know i should expect that but it hurts for bigger capacities.
Eh, well, maybe a Mac Mini Pro is in the works - I am pissed that you can't get 64GB of unified RAM on the M1 or the M1 Pro...and the pricing premium is..50 miles north of ludicrious.
*ugh*. I have a 2015 Macbook 12 sitting next to me - a 1.3Ghz 5Y71 model with 512GB of SSD - something that was abandoned by a self-described sales guru (more like a prima-donna) at my gig and begrudgedly inherited by me, probably to be used later as a trade-in with apple for a better machine. It's easily one of the worst "road apples" out there. The keyboard was the first gen butterfly, (ticking liability), the Broadwell Core-Ms don't perform all that well, thermally speaking (it's usually throttled) , everything is on a single SoC with a single USB-C port, and it's slower than my 2014 Macbook Air 11. It was slow, uncomfortable to type on, and has none of the endearing qualities of the Retina MBP or pre-Retina MBAs. If Apple makes a smaller Macbook, please for the love of everything decent, don't bring back that Macbook 12 chassis. That thing was a pug.
