Even better... They're paying you to buy old stock. But $799 for a 13" Air is a good deal Prices are not that lower. I agree, the Macbook Air might be going away soon anyhow. It be a good time to get one. Not the most powerful, but the battery is insanely good.

I think Apple and people are too focus on the iPhone. I have one, but I'm hoping for better design products, because Macbook Pro has not won any fans. iMac, Mac Pro, Macbook Air and iPad have suffered with any design improvements.

I wish the iPod Classic came back. But I don't see that happening.

They're just going to give us battery improvements in the next OS X release and more nonsense for our Force Touch trackpad (first thing I turned off ), and then all the Messages stuff people are wanting so it's universally on all the devices.

I got an early 2008 macbook pro pre-unibody for basically nothing. 4 GB of DDR2 RAM, I put an SSD and update wifi card. Now my main laptop is 2012 macbook pro i5 with 8 gb of RAM with a mechanical drive. The early 2008 macbook boots in 45 seconds because the SSD. Now, my 2012 macbook pro boots 1.45 minutes. Whole minute slower.

Yeah, I noticed how much slower the HDD in my other machine booted compared to the SSD in my new one the other day.
Copy & paste handoff is great.

I have the mid 2009, which is better because it's DDR3, but it won't sign into iMessage and facetime at all. It drives me crazy those two apps don't work on the mid 2009. The 2008 does. Thinking updating it to an SSD for the meantime, since it's DDR2.

A lot of cool and new stuff is coming. What does everyone think about all the new Apple stuff?

Pretty good iOS update. I wasn't expecting that much, but think they went in the right direction with it. Hope the HomePod doesn't end up like the AirPods where you still can't buy them except off eBay. That name though...

Seriously, I thought pod line would be dropped off. iSiri would've been better. iOS had major updates, but still, Apple doesn't want to give up the iPad to macOS. File manager in iOS is needed and allowing sync with cloud devices like Drive. The iMac Pro is seriously major. While the price is steep. 128 GB of RAM, 18 Core Xeon Processor is insane specs.

I’m not sure how I feel about ios11 yet. The Control Center feels weird but it always takes me a little while to get used to the updates. Apple Pay in iMessage is a cool feature but it’s not enabled yet. It’s a little buggy but that’s to be expected on the first beta. Updated the watch. Was hoping for the toy story faces but they aren’t available yet. Some of the kaleidoscope faces look nice and I’ll probably use the strobe light when I run at night.

I was impressed by the MacBook Air 2017 version screen has greatly improved. Overall, It's a great machine for a student or casual user, which most of us are. Setup one for a client last week. The possible look of iPhone 8 US members www.virginmobileusa.com/Might be a good deal. It's Sprint network though. I've personally upgraded to iPhone 6 and saved 200.00 this year on phone cost and a new phone too. Upgraded from 5S

I am, my views pretty much identical. It's a luxury device (like iPad i.e. we all have laptops or iPhones that can do everything iPad can, but iPad makes it easier when i certain situations but not needed). Its really nice having notifications come through on wrist and only having to spend a split second to read them, feels so un intrusive (i have a lot coming through) so really is a worth it just for that for me. the battery is excellent tbh apple massively under estimated so no problem at all (tho native apps :/ might kill it) the heart rate and 'activity' stuff is really nice Once native apps come think itll become lot bigger (like native apps on apple tv would launch that higher too) idk, defo an accessory/ 'sister device?' and not life changing but don't think anyone ever thought it would be but i would and do recommend it to people Got a used one as a belated Father's Day gift a few days ago. I like it but it's frustrating at times. The interface isn't very intuitive. I mainly wanted it for notifications at work since I can't answer my phone. Just wish Siri worked a little better. I try to respond to texts and it doesn't always work. Exercised for the first time in a long time this morning and liked it tracking everything. It's definitely a first gen product. Just wish some of the apps were more helpful and that there were some more watch faces. Still like your Apple Watch? Thinking about getting one, loosened my stance on not liking square watches.... Thanks.

Thanks. I still use it everyday. For my job it’s very helpful. I forgot to charge it the other day and I was lost at work with out it. Siri still doesn’t work as well as if like it on this version. It may be better on the new one. The interface is much improved since the updates. I’d recommend it for anyone that wants to track their exercises and can’t pull their phones out at work.

I've done next to no research on the watches......do you have the large or small model? I assume the small model is for females? I see more and more people wearing the watches....must be nice. Thanks.

Thanks. I have the big one. If you were to buy one I recommend getting just a sports band. You can buy cheaper replacement bands on amazon for a fraction of what charges.

Apple finally fixed that graphics issue with iTunes on Windows 10. It looked really blurry when you had your graphic settings on 125%.

I have to say the MacBook unibody from late 2009 with 8 GB of RAM works great. Supports 10.12. It handles youtube, web surfing and everything else just fine. It's a cheap pricing for someone who's low on cash. Ideally, 2012 MacBook pro is good as well with i5.
I have played with new MacBook pros and I have to say they're nice, just expensive. 100 Dongle and another 50 dollars for another dongle to get normal things to work normally.
21.5 iMac 4k vs the normal isn't a difference with the eyes. I've personally just gone with iMac with non-4k. If you want to spend the money, then go with 27 inch iMac to notice a difference. Remember to make sure get 16 GB
