You do not have to drop $2000 on a new laptop up front.




Don't forget the $700 Walmart special: https://www.walmart.com/ip/609040889


8gb model doesn't count as a usable computer. It's absurd that it is even being offered in 2024.


And that's how you know someone has not used the 8GB MBA model. 8GB is more than enough for the light usage you'd buy a 8GB model to begin with. Which means not running 3 IDEs and 5 VMs at the same time.


Sure, then just add $100 each for a decent amount of RAM and storage.

Oh, wait... forgot that these are designed to be landfill fodder.
