JAKARTA - Buying a new MacBook Air just before the latest model was released may not be a wise decision for most people. However, there are two exceptions. Currently, there are two models of MacBook Air that are still available on the market and offer extraordinary value.
The oldest MacBook Air model still on sale is the M1 MacBook Air. This laptop sells for $649 at Walmart. If you're considering buying an older MacBook Air from this model, make sure the price is well below. The reason is, the model before the M1 still uses an Intel processor, whose performance is far behind compared to the Apple Silicon chip.
While it is no longer the latest technology, the M1 MacBook Air which is only sold through Walmart is the most affordable ticket to own an Apple laptop.
If the budget allows, the M2 MacBook Air deserves consideration, especially with a discount price of US$799 (Rp13 million). This model comes with the latest design, MagSafe charging feature, Midnight color (blue black), and most importantly, the basic RAM that has been increased to 16GB.
Apple increased basic RAM from 8GB to 16GB last fall, which is believed to support new artificial intelligence-based features (Apple Intelligence) in the future. For this reason, the M2 MacBook Air is an attractive option for users who want to combine modern performance and affordable prices.
However, if you don't get a discount of 200 US dollars, you should postpone the purchase.
For users who want the best technology, there is a strong reason to wait for the next generation of MacBook Air:
Faster Performance: If performance differences between M2 and M3 are important for you, then M4 is the best choice. This model is expected to bring significant improvement in terms of performance.
Custom Specifications: If you want to increase storage capacity or RAM outside the basic configuration, waiting for M4 will make sure you get the latest specifications with the latest technology.
MacBook Air 15 Inci: Apple currently only offers a 15-inch MacBook Air with an M3 chip. Waiting for the release of the M4 model can provide better options for a large screen with optimal performance.
