I think it's great to have a lower cost entry level option for the MacBook, especially given how resistant Apple has been to allowing local development tools and shared files on iPadOS. It seems like a worthy replacement to the M1 MacBook Air they were selling through Walmart this whole time. The colors are a really nice touch on a solid hardware offering. It doesn't seem especially disposable or more locked-in to any ecosystem than any other MacBook, and with less ecosystem lock-in than a Chromebook. Personally I'm still waiting for a return of the 12" MacBook or 11" MacBook Air with an M-series chip in it. The current MacBook Air model just doesn't have the same feeling of super portable grab-ability that my old 11" MacBook Air had. Unfortunately, the age of the netbook is long past and hardly any manufacturer makes laptops with screens less than 13" unless you go all the way down to some kind of weird handheld thing without a keyboard. I liked how the 11" MacBook Air had just enough width and depth for the keyboard and a usable trackpad and no more.
