It would totally be worth it if it was the 16gb ram 512gb model. But then Apple couldnt make an extra $400 off you if they did that. I wonder when 16gb will be the minimum ram size for systems under $1,000? 5 years from now, 10?

Don't do it!
If you know what you are buying why not?
Sure there will be an M2 coming, we do not know when and at what price. so if you need a computer now, this is a pretty useful computer (huge battery life) and you can have a deal on it.

So unless you MUST have the latest and can wait, it the price fits the bill..

That spec seems like it would only work for a narrow band of users that basically don’t store data locally. 256GB is not much.
I have several 256GB MacBooks, and my wife uses one daily.

With iCloud and/or OneDrive, etc., it's not an issue. I don't edit videos, it's hard to accumulate >100GB of office docs and similar. Even if I had >200GB of photos videos, the average user doesn't need all of them available all the time.

In other words, if you give most (not narrow band) users (who are looking at computers in this price point), they'd have to work fairly hard to fill up 200GB. Unless they were morally opposed to cloud and/or external backups.

M1 Air is a good computer. The discount is good too. But it might not be a good idea to buy one right now. Better to wait for the updated Air with M2.

hey so how does this happen ? is it legit apple seller ? I don't get how they can be cheaper from amazon ?
They shave the cost from their margin, better sell and lose some margin than have in house a product that will be hard to sell if a new one comes out.

If a M2 MacBook Air is to be released at WWDC, vendors with bigger stock will have to lower prices even more, so, better do it now and maybe still make some money out of it ;)
