From a post earlier this morning:
Apple:
- more on the M3 -- link here, but I don't think there's anything here that hasn't already been reported;
- not sure why MacRumors posted this;
- the M3 chips will use updated TSMC chip manufacturing technology
This is my workhorse. I literally use it 24/7. Note the Intel processor.
This just demonstrates how "long" Apple computers "last."
Back-up. When they went on sale about six months ago, I bought a new 13-inch MacBook Air, M1, 2020-version. They are currently listed at theApple website for $999 for the base model; I believe I got mine for about $750. It's been booted up, configured, and I've used it a couple of times, but it's my back-up and after using it for a few days, I went back to my current 2018 model. I'll keep the new M1 model in pristine condition .... while the current 2018 model works perfectly.
MacOS: I have not updated / upgraded the operating system for this old 2018 computer that I'm using. I have no plans to upgrade this one, but that could change.
Coming: it is likely in late September, Tim Cook will announce a new 13-inch and a new 15-inch MacBook Air, using the new M3 chip. Current Mac computers:
It appears obvious that the M2 chip was transitional. My hunch: the M2 Macs are going to plummet in price when the M3 computers are announced. Good luck finding a new 13-inch M1 MacBook Air.
For the archives, current prices:
On sale:
