I’ve been wanting a brand new 12 inch macbook since my 2015 became slow and unreliable.

I will lose my marbles if the bodies are plastic. What else could they cut costs on?

    Apple won’t ever go back to plastic because it wouldn’t look good for their environmental efforts and their 2030 goal.

        Don’t give Apple ideas 😭

        And besides, even the 12” MacBooks made in 2015, 2016 and 2017 were all made of aluminium, so I don’t think Apple can downgrade the materials back to plastic like the MacBooks from decades ago because MacBooks are seen as “premium devices”, and plastic is not a premium material.

      If they want to look good for their environmental efforts they need to get away from aluminum. And stop with the (plastic) proprietary connectors and dongles crap. The concept that Apple has any concern for the environment beyond a buzzword marketing ploy is a joke.
