Some of my student have brand new 2024 Macbook Air with an amazing 8gb ram!! Those 1.5k$ computers struggle to do anything lol.
Are you sure they’re not just slacking off and claiming the computer is slow?
Sure, you’re not running multiple CAD programs on a base model Air, but it’s a perfectly capable machine for web browsing, Electron apps, Citrix, MS Office, PDFs, usual desktop stuff.
And the base model Air is less than a grand - if you’re spending $1.5k, you’re getting more than 8GB RAM.
Did they really put the power button on the bottom? Lmao that’s up there with the magic mouse charging port.
Most people don’t shut down their Macs that often, the fingerprint sensor on the keyboard acts as a power button 99% of the time.
Stupid decision, but almost inconsequential in real life.
Should we explain to them that $5 is better than whatever they are asking for their devices?
