This would also leave room for the new M2 Air as the mid range just like the iPads.
An updated Macbook Air would be the sweetspot. I don't need all of the features of the macbook pro 14", but would like to have a cheaper 14" with a M1 or M2 that is more powerful then the current Macbook Air.
Personally. I think a more interesting alternative is to discontinue that model and replace it with a 14-15” Air at roughly the same price point. I’d buy that machine in a heartbeat.
if you need the mac just for web or email, please make yourself a favor and buy and iPhone, an iPAd or any Android option of your choice.
Any software nowadays installs at least double data of its own size, and cache size are huge.
just check any "application support" folder or any cache folder in any computer.
I'm not saying you are using a 256GB mac for install any Adobe software of course, but just think how large programs are today, around 3GB, plus all the swap memory MacOS is going to use, plus 8GB of free SSD space just for the RAM when sleeping, plus SSD needs free space to work at decent speeds, ETC.
