There Was Something in the Air After All

Wednesday, March 5, 2025

For the first time in 24 years, since the introduction of the first white iBook, Apple has a blue laptop again. While the new MacBook Airs are most certainly a “spec bump,” they make for a pretty good one. The new Air features the M4 (as expected), but also gets a massively upgraded FaceTime camera and a $100 price drop. I’m glad my diatribe about the boring iPad announcements leading to more boring updates was wrong. $999 for this new machine is a steal.
