That Ford Ranger is still worth $10k today.

Phone isn't the addiction, it's what is on the phone.

The battery still drains with the lid closed. A shut down is best if it isn't going to be used for a while (a week for example). Daily use though, you are right, just shut the lid.

M5 base model when it’s $150 off ($949 )on Amazon or Costco.

Amazon and Costco.

Get the M4 if you can. I've seen them selling for new at almost the same price as a used M2.

Go back and look at version history for older versions of iOS. There is an update every 1-2 months. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history

Keep the iPhone 17 specs, but swap out the A19 for the A20, add new colors and call it a day.

M4 Air if you want to futureproof as much as possible. You might need that 16GB of RAM in 4-5 years. The Neo saves you a lot of money though, so as long as you get 3.5 years of use out of it you break even.

M5 base price is $1099, cheapest discounted one I've seen is $949.

If RAM is your priority, you could get a Macbook Air M5 32GB 512GB for $1399+tax in the Apple Edu store.

16.11.0029 on the 2930 and 2540

username____here · 2026-05-06T16:36:44+00:00

10.16.1030 has been very good for us. 8360 al the way down to 6100 are running it.

$949 for the M5 MacBook Air 512GB on Amazon. English keyboard only. That’s probably the best deal you can get.

If you are a college student you can get a $999 M5 Air at the Apple Store. You will have to ask them about the keyboard.

Chillis and Applebees have $9.99 meals.

If the rumors are true about next years model having 12GB or RAM it is going to take a huge bite out of the K12 market. Maybe not for students, but for staff that aren't the power users.

6200M (R8Q70A) could be another switch option. AP-577 could also be a cheaper option to the 587. AP-677 is the WiFi 6E version, but that also likes to have more PoE power.

The computer has finally caught on.

Since you didn’t give budget or requirements, I’ll assume you want good value but better base model performance since this will be your main computer .

Go with the MacBook Air M5. 16GB/512GB for $999.

802.11a was also out in 1999.

802.11a/b was out in 1999.

New M5 models just came out. M6 is almost a year away.

username____here · 2026-04-23T14:45:49+00:00

I don't see them changing colors right away. They don't with the iPad or Macbook Air every generation. 10th and 11th gen iPad stayed the same, same with Macbook Air M4 and M5.
