[Costco] Apple MacBook Air 13.3" $1150

you mean 16GB, i5?

Check out the specs

I5, 8gb, 128gb
It’s not a good deal.

Is it the 2020 model or previous model?

128GB SSD simply is not big enough nowadays. The new Macbook Air starting with 256GB SSD is a better deal.

Same at Woodbridge Costco (Highway 7 and 427)

Wait for the 2020 version

I wish I could access iMessage on a PC. It’ll never happen ever, but it’s the one thing I’d buy this for (assuming money was no object)

2019 i believe 2020 version is 256 gb I3 processor

I have a Surface Pro 6 with 512GB storage and including OS I haven't gone over 80GB. Streaming just about everything and OneDrive setup to keep most files only in the cloud.

It is subjective but for most people, 128gig is not enough. When iPhones are at 64gigs and it seems like 128 is going to be a bare minimum for phones as they get into 4K video, a laptop with 128 is generally seen as too little.

The 2020 Air has a 10th Gen i3 processor that outperforms the 8th Gen i5 of the 2019 version.

The better cpu, higher base storage, and better keyboard is worth choosing the 2020 over the 2019

Last year's Air was joke. That's what I bought it, arrived today actually. Gold, I upgraded to the i5. I usually upgrade the RAM but this time I asked so I went with the Processor. I didn't wanna spend too much.

i agree it's subjective. for me, it's simply a crime to sell a laptop with only 128G storage.

I love macbooks but the specs on them are absolutely absurd for the price they charge. It's absurd that they'll charge you an extra $400 for more storage when you can get a usb sticks with the same amount of memory for under $30. It's too bad.

This is not unique to Macbooks. Look at the MacMini, iMac, iPhone, iPad. Same goes for RAM

They get away with it because people keep buying the devices in record numbers. Apple has no incentive to stop this practice.

This is true, even now I'm even considering the new 2020 air because it now comes with twice the memory! Wow 256! Which is still absurd. It's like a case of Stockholm syndrome Haha.

what are you going to do with all that extra space?

For a company that prides itself on doing the right thing and offering the best user experience, they should stop offering gimped configurations that do nobody any good. The iMac with a default spinning drive should have been discontinued a long time ago. Same with iPhone PROS with 64GB and then 256GB and nothing in between. Fortunately I think they are going to update the base config of the Pro phones to have 128GB based on what they've been doing with the iPad.
