I think the rumors of an A18-based MacBook are exciting, especially if you can slot in at that $650 price point. My only concern is how much Apple neuters it. @ismh86 rightfully points out the USB-C thing is one area (which I think is fine), my broader concern is RAM. I don’t think 8GB is sufficient for macOS, full stop. And that’s before you add Apple Intelligence. I don’t care if it’s $650, no Mac sold today should have under 16GB of RAM. (See next post for more)
