Yes. But if the lowest configuration will be 16GB RAM and 256GB storage like base M4 Mini then it will sell like hotcakes and will make way more sense than M4 Mini at that price.

Yep. Storage on a minipc form factor is definitely a non-issue. Bought my son a $100 2TB crucial external drive and it’s literally 2”x2” (5cmx5cm). Storage is SUPER small these days and cheap. Not slow either.
Why does everyone forget their aborted launch of Apple Intelligence involved setting the baseline at 16GB for all their macs? (Except for the M1 Walmart special?)

“Low cost” and “Apple” go together like oil and water.

Let me guess: with really low specs and once you configure it to be decent it costs twice as much?

Narrator: It wasn’t.

I wish I gave a particular example where that’s the case right now… Oh well… Let’s wait till 2030 then.
The latest macbook air starts at 16 already tho

The base Mac Mini has 16GB, not 8 (storage complaints are fair but also trivial to address with external drives)

Like the Mac Mini?
A welcome exception!
iPads are pretty affordable.
But what should it be called? “MacBook”? “MacBook SE”? “MacBookE”? “MacBook AirE” (airy!)? “MacBook Mini”?
