Looks like they might be bringing back the base MacBook models.
Not a bad price. 8GB of RAM is pretty low these days
yeah, i saw it was 8GB RAM, and thought, nah. Though admittedly, MacOS is pretty lite on resources. My current Macs are 8GB as they're older, but they don't really struggle. But I don't do much except music and lemmy. So yeah, 8GB might be a bit low if you want to do anything more intensive than just lite browsing.
I guess it makes sense as a Chromebook alternative and they probably don't want to eat their MacBook Air market. At least they're getting colorful again
Don't all those units have integrated graphics with unified memory? Meaning that 8GB of RAM is shared with the graphics frame buffer. So there's less than 8GB available to the OS, right?
