This is the lowest price Macrumors has ever tracked for this model. The 512GM model is also knocked down a hundred dollars, to $1,199, but only the Gold color option is available. This suggests to me that Apple's MacBook Air supply / demand ratio is a bit out of joint, in the buyer's favor. Note, however: it apparently comes with a very old operating system installed. One can upload the newest operating system but it will take a significant amount of memory. Current operating system for MacBook Air: 10.14.6 (Mojave) or 10.15 (Catalina). Operating system in this low-priced MacBook Air: 10.11 Capitan. Link here. Later: I can't find the original graphic now that suggested this computer shipped with OS El Capitan, 10.11. Perhaps that has been updated. Reviewers suggest this computer ships with Catalin (OS 10.15) installed.
- Catalina released: June, 2020.
- Mojave released: June, 2018.
- OS X El Capitan released: September, 2015
And: Apple will provide up to 12 months interest-free loans on their Apple Cards when purchasing big ticket Apple products.
AAPL: after setting an all-time high on Friday, AAPL is struggling to turn green today. AAPL was down as much as $3.75 earlier this morning; is now (10:53 a.m. CT) down about 75 cents. Later: it appears AAPL will be green at the end of the day.
Panic selling: there is an article over at Investor's Business Daily which suggests Warren Buffett took a $2.7 billion loss due to "panic selling" of his equity in four airlines (UAL, AAL, LUV, and DAL). The journalist makes a rookie mistake in his analysis. I will provide the rationale later if I remember to do so. See this note.
Dak Prescott: Michael Irwin says the Dallas Cowboys owe Dak Prescott four years of back-pay. Michael Irwin does not have the authority to sign Dallas Cowboys' checks. Link here.
Yes, I thought it was pretty funny. What amazes me is that "journalists" actually write these stories. What amazes me even more, they get published.
