This is just a guess, but I imagine prices will drop significantly once SSDs stop being an option and become the standard when buying a new pc. Macbook Airs obviously do this and some netbooks, but I think it's still a hard option to sell people on, especially at current prices.

I'd like to make the move to SSD in my early 2008 MacBook. Which drive is the most reliable? Not really concerned about price but it has to be 128GB or more.

I want to get my wife a new Macbook Air to replace her 2012 model...what's the best spec build out bang for the buck? She's definitely not a power user - pretty much just browses the web, does finances, uses Photos and very occasionally remotes into work on it. I'd like for it to last her another 8 years if possible and I'm not sure if springing for the i5 is worth it for her uses. Thanks!

japtor posted:Well the i5 is the best bang for the buck, or arguably one of the lower end MBPs I think. Main question for another 8 years would be software support cause Intel Macs will be no more at some point. But for basic use like that it'll probably be fine for a while, and get through the growing pains of the ARM Macs by the time you want to replace it. Thanks I totally forgot about the ARM switch, I'll probably hold off.

movax posted:This is what I'm looking for — allow higher TDP for the A14 to stay clocked up longer. My dad is still using an ancient Air (like a 2011 or 2012), says its fine for what he needs to do / wants to do, but I feel compelled to do something and an ARM MacBook seems perfect for his needs. This is my situation too - wife still loves her 2012 Macbook Air, waiting until next week to spring for one. Aside from a somewhat loose hinge it's been an amazing piece of hardware. She also refuses to believe screen size is the same 13" because of how much the bezels have shrunk.
