My wife needs a new laptop. I’m thinking about getting a Macbook Air. If I buy from Apple Canada will tariffs be applied? I googled this and it’s unclear.
No, they’re not coming from the Excited States of America. So no tariffs.
I just bought a new Mac mini last week and it was cheap.
Let me know if you’re ready to buy it, I can send you a link for education pricing.

Cool! Yeah the new Macbook Air with the M4 chip looks amazing! I’ll be buying the laptop when we’re heading back from PG on the 19th. Visiting my kid. Many thanks for that, MiG! Yes, that education link will be great! 
My daughter just told me not to be an old poop and simply save money to pass on to her and go out and buy myself something I want instead of need. She suggested a 3D printer.
I’ve been growing more & more pissed with my Win11 laptop that’s going on in years and looking at a Macbook as a replacement. The PC laptops I’ve owned were one hell of a downgrade after my 2008 Macbook, sorry attempts at trackpads, constant updates and Win7,8,8.1, 10 & 11 all being so radically different from each other.

I certainly don’t miss Windows. What a dumpster fire! I’m looking forward to setting up the new Macbook after my return from PG.
Looking at the 15" Pro, same price & specs as the AIr - 1699
Like a larger screen and even using my mini, the Mac display is WAY more readable and sharper then my PC.
Then - WTF? - the site changed and all I can find is 14 or 16" Pros! for way way more!
Is it because of tariffs? Do you want the secret special education link.
Sure, thank you.
I saw a YouTube today about the Air, the guy mentioned the same hard drive issue as when I bought my mini - the 256 is a single drive, much slower than the 512+ with two chips. That’s why I grabbed it when I saw a 512 on sale for the price of a 256.
14" Pro has 512, XDR display, 2 more ports, SD slot, headphone jack, 70W charger vs 35 for $400 over the 15" Air - looks interesting…
Ordered the 15 inch Macbook air today. 
P.S. I’m in PG one more day. Heading to Smithers tomorrow. Upgraded my 22 year old’s 16 inch Dell Windows 10 laptop to Ubuntu 24.04.2 yesterday.
