Music on iPod or a Walkman or a radio is great. But have you ever attended live music shows ? Have you ever ‘felt’ the music ? Even someone at a local bar singing feels and hits different. AI can never bring feelings. That will never change

The MacBook Air with M4 chip 16gb ram and an amazing display and camera is just 999$. During back to school that will happen soon it’s 899$ with free AirPods. That’s really great value given how good the hardware is.
