 The price is what the price is. There's no point in complaining about it. Dehumanize yourself and face to Tim Apple

B&H has the Space Grat M2 Air 16/512 for $1349 which is $150 off. 256gb config is $1149

I think Best Buy had them on sale as well but they're sold out.

Apple is also doing a $175 Apple Gift card with purchase of an M2 Air. I'm waiting to see if that qualifies on the education purchases as well. If so then that's $1379 + $175 gift card which is not a bad deal.

This B&H model dropped further to $1299. Just picked one up for the wife.

Good luck ever actually receiving it.
BH is horrible for listing products like this and then you never actually get it and you have to cancel your order months later or they do it for you.

I bought one yesterday and it's already shipped.

 Microcenter and Woot both carry Apple Certified refurbs now. Unfortunately both retailers also sell non-Apple refurbs so you gotta keep an eye out.

 One thing I just noticed on the new M3 Airs is they added a 3rd stock config, which is 16gb/512gb.

They used to just have the 8/256 and 8/512. This should also mean that 3rd party retailers like Costco and Best Buy will carry the 16/512 configs and, when those stores run sales, won't just be limited to the 8gb configs.

That's actually very interesting news. Best Buy regularly takes a couple hundred off their macs when they run sales.

 Poking around on Walmart's site at Windows laptops around the same price point, you can indeed find many laptops with 16gb and 512gb or higher but they all also have 1080p screen or worse, which is IMO a far bigger crime.

 Plug in a USB keyboard and mouse. If it works then it’s your ribbon cable as mentioned above.
