Just FYI, its ram is soldered and not expandable. Window 11 with 8G ram can easily reach 90%+ memory usage. It is ok for light daily use, e.g. web browsing or watch online streams. But it may not be proper for other purpose. For example, if you are working on your tax report in TurboTax while opening a couple of chrome browser tabs, the ram usage will definitely exceed 90%. Someone may think it can be used on course work. However, opening VSCODE or other IDEs can easily make its ram usage 90%+ as well.
It is with a low-power 4 core CPU N150 which is kindly weak, too.
One should probably spend a little bit more to get a better one.

The eight core N305 used to be sale at this price level, at least the processor would have twice the number of cores.

4GB would be too small for Windows 11. The system would take about 3.5GB, leaving only enough RAM for 4~5 Chrome tabs.

with M4 MacBook Air being released, should expect older M2, M3 versions of MacBook see additional drops in price.

i think apple just wants to push people to buy its cloud subscription. 2TB plan is good enough for a bunch of devices for a whole family, if do family sharing.

I am coder and I used Apple Air for one year. Now about 300G used. If you clean it harder, $256GB is probably OK. But 512 GB is in sweet spot.
