  No, 8gb of RAM (obviously older DDR but still) and 256gb or storage.

  Of course the CPU and older components will be less powerful, but like… What do we use computers for now that we didn’t in 2017? AI? Oh nooooo, what will I ever do without local AI…

  I got a bargain, but say you can only get it for double what I paid. That’s 1/6 the price. Why pay 600% more for a computer that’s not even that much better?

    this MacBook is going to have 10x the battery life of your used laptop, and weigh less.

    plus, it’s brand new so it has a warranty and doesn’t require people to spend time searching for a good deal.

    this is an excellent product launch at a good price and it is gonna sell like hotcakes

      Mine has a replaceable battery, in theory I can buy whatever quality level of battery I want :3

      Again, 1200% the price.
