Sure they are. They exist in this world so your response doesn't answer my question.

I sold my M1 MBA to buy an M2 MBA because I wanted one.

Well they don’t exist in the realm of intelligence, hopefully Apple informs these customers where to go, refuse to accept and takes them to the cleaners
lol i'm still trying to justify my latest purchase for a mbp 14inch, i'm currently on a older mbp with 16gb ram and the memory swap is outta control. i decided i had enough when ms team crashed 4 times ina roll and i had to get the entire marketing team to talk to me on discord instead.
Is wanting your laptop to look good a sign that someone lacks intelligence?
What are you talking about? Apple has a very simple, no-questions-asked, 14-day return policy. I agree that returning the machine because it shows fingerprints easily is a bit capricious, particularly since the fingerprint issue is well publicized at this point, but again, a reason for a return is not needed.
I could return my new M2 Air because "my cat didn't like it," and that would be no more or less valid a reason. All that matters for a return is that someone decided not to keep it, didn't damage it, and returned it within the 14-day window. (Full disclosure: all three of our cats seem to like my new machine just fine, and I'll be keeping it.)
Where I’m from a laptop is designed to do tasks and not designed to look good. If it looks good, great…that’s a bonus, that’s why I got my MacBook Pro. If a computer looked like a hairy arse but was the most powerful computer ever built and allowed me to do my tasks better I’d buy it over something good looking that wasn’t as powerful anyday.
where you're from? where is that?? can't you just admit that you're stating your opinions, nothing more or less..?
apple products have always been, to a very-large degree, about aesthetics. and if someone has an aesthetic concern, they should be able to return their device. oh wait! they can...
anyway, chateaunole-du-pape said it perfectly, above.
Several years ago I feared I might have to return my iMac for exactly that reason...
This is in direct contrast to your statement:
"People should be able to buy whatever machine they want and not have people judge them for it..."
I’m awaiting your comparison review between the M1 air you sold and the new M2 air.
I’d also be interested to hear the comparison and your thoughts given you’ve owned both.
I'm not a car guy but my teenager always teases me when we see a Tesla she knows I can't afford while she's sitting in my Prius... I'm 100% with the OP. Buy what you want... If you want to see maniacal jealousy/anger/whatever just start talking about sports betting....
I can relate to that but from a different perspective. My hatred of PCs in general stems from the fact I mostly associate them with work, battling to get SharePoint, among other things, to do something useful, and at home years ago when I fought with Windows XP then Windows 7 to run a home studio.
It's a hard yet very mentally mature thing to acknowledge our cognitive biases.
Why not?
If someone is not happy with the machine he has paid for, he is allowed to exchange the machine within in the 14-day period.
You are not “of this world” if you stick with a machine you are not happy with after paying so much money, while you have the option to exchange for a machine you like better.
Are you still stuck on this? You seem mighty intent about imposing your views on others concerning their reasons for potentially returning their macbooks...
I'm the same, absolutely nothing wrong with my M1 MBA. I just looked at the old one and said "I fancy a new laptop", two days later I ordered it and then collected it the next day.
I did this but round the other way, bought the M2 MBA and then sold the M1 MBA.
Went from 8/8/16/512 to 8/10/16/1Tb, both Space Grey because it's my favourite colour of them.
I've had the new one for a couple of weeks and it's a real beauty. The slightly larger screen due to the smaller bezels is superb and the little bit of extra vertical space is nice as well. I don't use it at anything near its potential but even for menial tasks, I can tell it's faster than the M1. I said the M1 MBA was a keeper. I kept it for two and a half years. This one is a keeper, perhaps I'll keep it for longer than the old one, perhaps not.
As Apple soothsayers dangle a (mythical at this point) 15" M3 Air in our faces.
I too traded my three month old M1 Air in for a M2 Air. More memory, larger storage. Why? Because I wanted one. The best reason. Slightly larger display, larger function buttons, better camera, slightly better performance. More good enough reasons. It's my money to spend as I see fit in the way I see fit. If others don't like it, well when they pay for my purchases then they can have a say in how I use the item purchased.
