I have a friend who as of 2019 was still running her black plastic MacBook for music production. (Probably still is.)

Every time I saw it I felt a little pain -- why did I buy the white one? (Which turned half yellow with time.) I guess it made it easier to give away when it got too slow for coding.

I have the M1 Air and my two complaints are: no MagSafe, no SD Card. Otherwise, I love it, even though it crashes every time it goes to sleep on an external monitor and Apple's in-house software makes me root for Asahi every day. But it does look a little bland.

This new black one fixes 1/2 of my hardware complaints: it'll be hard not to upgrade out of cycle.

man that's amazing. i revived my black macbook a few years ago but it's slow even for browsing (and outdated os).

on the new m2: i have no complaints with my current m1 (i don't miss magsafe that much?), and the increased price makes the new gen meh for me. good if you're upgrading from intel, but i'll still recommend the m1 air for the foreseeable future.

i'll say this once again: i want a 15"/16" macbook air.
