         | CAD$400 ~= USD$300

         | CAD$500 ~= USD$370

         | Although they have the caveat "Please contact us for exact
         | pricing" which is probably for non-base (256GB) models

       | The Macbook Air M1 will probably go down in history and live a
       | long life:
       | 
       | - perfect size for portability (the last actual "Air" design
       | instead of Macbook Pro Lite)
       | 
       | - good UI (display / keyboard / best trackpad)
       | 
       | - no notch
       | 
       | - excellent speakers (for the size)
       | 
       | - USB-C (TB3/USB4)
       | 
       | - Wifi6 & BT5
       | 
       | Who knows about the future but this has to last at least as long
       | as the 2012 Macboook Pro, which is _still_ good.
       | 
       | Big question is: how long Apple will have software support for
       | Apple Silicon machines? Here's hoping "indefinitely" as their
       | environmental promise might actually hold them to it. And if not,
       | Asahi Linux has been kicking ass since 2020
