Default Little bit misleading advertising by Apple, Macbook Air M1

This website:
https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro/13-inch

Statements the following:

"Two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports"

^ This is a bit misleading.

It may be interpreted as two thunderbolt + 4 usb ports.

Or a conversion from 2 thunderbolts to 4 usb ports.

This is not the case.

This means usb 4.0 protocol/version.

So heads up !

Nice chip this M1.

Also this airbook does not have ethernet port, so wifi required which kinda sucks.

And the screen is tiny and is IPS... no OLED... so might be a bit less colorfull.

Also if you get this device, definetly by the 16 GB ram version, you can't upgrade it later.

And this 16 GB is split between CPU and GPU !

The 16 GB version will make this device last much longer. The 8 GB feels like a scam and a waste of money, it will be obsolete very fast !

Bye,
Skybuck.
