No WiFi 7. I am guessing it will come next year when Apple have their own WIFi Chip going in this year iPhone 17. Hopefully with 320Mhz instead of a crippled 16

No WiFi 7. I am guessing it will come next year when Apple have their own WIFi Chip going in this year iPhone 17. Hopefully with 320Mhz instead of a crippled 160Mhz.
Trackpad slightly too big that causes false positive which was non-existent on older gen MacBook and Keyboard is new scissors that as less Key Travel than old scissors.
No 120Hz Screen. Some people want OLED, personally I prefer LCD. But I could see how it could be thinner for lid. Quality Face Camera is not solvable yet though.
May be Vapor Cooling Chamber. Still fan less but gives more longer peak workload.
May be Silicon Carbon Battery in the future.
Other than all these it is about as good as it get. Most of the solution above are ready today if Apple is willing bump the price up.
I am thinking if Apple will drop the current M4 MacBook Air to $899 and release the M5 at $999.

What are you transferring such that 320 channels solve a problem that 160 ones do not? At least 6E gives access to 6 Ghz bands, which tend to be more less congested (and have more available channels).
- ksec 2y agoWith 320Mhz you could get about 3Gbps Real world or roughly 300MB/s. Basically max out the 2.5Gbps Ethernet port. It is useful at times when you are transferring between NAS or on a 2.5Gbps Internet. I think it hit the sweet spot of having enough headroom that when I need it, it is there.
