Not keeping space gray is an odd choice. Should have axed starlight or silver for the new blue.

  Silver is a classic MacBook color so they did right to not get rid of it. They now have two blue MacBooks so they should’ve gotten rid of midnight and kept the space gray.

  I’m getting rid of my space gray M3 MBA specifically because of the color. Always grungy and dirty looking. I regret getting it.

  @@celestialbby98 silver and sky blue are way more visually similar than midnight though, even if midnight is technically a very dark shade of blue.

Im looking to buy a macbook, but im totally co fused by the different models, im studying autocad and 3d design/modeling, which one is best for that, ive just started my studies so i know i need a better computer, but choosing an option is confusing, and i dont want to spend thousands if i dont have to, seeing as apple charge like £200+ per upgrade option, it can get expensive pretty quickly, especially in the uk, any advice would be good.

Sick and tired of the MacBook Air boring colors. There’s already a midnight blue so why add sky blue? SMH A pink, orange, or purple would be good.

You know what now that I think about it, my theory as to why Apple decided to make this move is to differentiate between the Mac Pro in terms of both price structure and performance. Maybe will see M4 Ultra released on the Mac Pro in WWDC 2025 along with updates to both Studio and Pro XDR Displays?

In the past when both Mac Studio and Mac Pro shared the same top of the line chip set which was M2 Ultra, its like why spend thousands of dollars more on a Mac Pro with M2 Ultra when you can save thousands of dollars and get an M2 Ultra Mac Studio with the same performance. Now if the rumors are correct, the pricing structure will make more sense, for thousands of dollars more you’re getting an M4 Ultra in a Mac Pro with much better performance over the M3 Ultra Mac Studio
