With the recent launch of the MacBook Air M4, the MacBook market is witnessing a major change that users are the beneficiaries of.
While the arrival of the MacBook Air M4 has killed off previous MacBook Air models , users can still buy them through third-party stores or the refurbished or used market. But more importantly, MacBook Air models with M1, M2, and M3 chips will tend to drop in price, creating an opportunity for consumers to find products that fit their budget.
The launch of MacBook Air M4 is an opportunity for users to buy old MacBook Air models at a better price.
Which choice is the wisest?
The MacBook Air M4 is advertised by Apple as the most powerful version with many improvements, but in reality it is only a slight upgrade compared to the MacBook Air M2 and M3 models. Therefore, the decision to buy the latest model or not depends on the specific needs of each individual. If the user only needs a computer for basic tasks, investing in an older model may be a more reasonable choice.
In fact, a survey of the Vietnamese market shows that the prices of Apple products do not usually drop sharply when a new model comes out, with a common reduction of only about 10-20%. However, with the launch of the MacBook Air M4, many people will resell their MacBook Air M2 or M3, which creates a good opportunity for users to buy a nearly new computer at a much more attractive price than the stores. In addition, users should also pay attention to promotions from stores, where there may be additional incentives such as bags or chargers.
MacBook Air M4 does not have many design differences compared to its predecessor.
If you’re considering between the older MacBook Air models, it’s recommended to consider the MacBook Air M2 or M3, but wait a little longer for a more affordable price. It’s worth noting that the performance difference between the models isn’t that big for the average user, so spending more money on the new version isn’t really necessary.
It is known that the MacBook Air M3 was sold for 28 million VND when it was launched, however the MacBook Air M4 version only costs from 27 million VND, which means the selling price of the MacBook Air M3 will have to drop below 17 million VND once the M4 version is on the shelves.
Notes when buying used MacBook Air
Many private sellers often offer better deals on used MacBook Airs than stores, and if you search hard enough, you can find computers in good condition for half the original price. Check e-commerce sites, tech forums, or social media groups for these opportunities.
So the MacBook Air M2 and M3 models are recommended.
