    Thx for the honest review! I have an M2 Air (256gb, 16gb unified memory) which is the entry level for the so-called Apple Intelligence. I’ve been happy with my M2 Air so far and will NOT be upgrading this time around…

      Totally agree. I have an M1 Air with 16GB unified memory and 512GB. Still runs great.

      I have an M2 air as well. I will only upgrade when I will see a high refresh rate air.

      I had 2 x macbook pros as well ( m1 pro and m2 max ). But I always end up with the air because of the form factor and the fact it doesn’t have a fan its an actual advantage for me. A high refresh rate mba is the ideal laptop

    • @JoshG_CNET

      March 11, 2025 at 10:22 am

      That was the response our producer had when I mentioned it, but WoW’s reqs do list an M1 Pro, so it was a reasonable request. I was hoping for something “newer for Mac” like Control Ultimate Edition or Wuthering Waves but they keep pushing the release dates back.

    With the discounted M3 would it be worth to get it (16G/512GB) for the price of the base M4?

    I don’t really want an iMac colored MacBook, but I’m sure my sisters would love a pink or purple laptop.

    Unfortunately, there is no still fans, so there are heating issues. I bought 3 years ago and I regret it so much. Please do not buy a macbook without fan !

      Weird, I use VMs on a MacBook around the same age and no fans, works just fine. No heating issues, in fact haven’t heard anyone talk about heating issues. You might want to get yours checked out

    I have an M2 MBA with 16GB/1TB. I am upgrading to the M4 MBA with 32GB/1TB. Mostly because I want the max memory and my keys are starting to get long in the tooth.
