I start new phones as new but I don’t reset my current ones unless I need to

Can u buy online or only in store?

I think it’s because more people who buy a MacBook Air (students) like the smaller 13 inch form factor. The 15 inch isn’t selling well rn so the discounts are more aggressive. That being said, the 15 inch air is definitely the way to go in my opinion so spend the $50 more and enjoy :)

Would recommend a MacBook Pro 14 for that price range
