My MacBook Pro 2014 has similar speakers and they are surprisingly good for such small (depth-wise) speakers. Well up close anyway. Glad to hear the ones in the MacBook Air M1 are good too. I guess one option would be to wirelessly pair it with a HomePod mini if someone wanted better sound.

I placed the order for my MacBook Air M1 early Saturday morning and I finally got a notice this morning (Tuesday) that it has shipped and it should arrive tomorrow. Apple is definitely not Amazon when it comes to fast free shipping!

When I was purchasing it, it originally showed a $9 shipping option to get it the same day, but as the purchase process progressed through the system that option disappeared, so I had to settle for the free shipping and get it whenever Apple gets around to delivering option. No big deal. This was my first purchase using my Apple Card, and it was anything but intuitive. The whole Apple Store app is not that intuitive, as for as that goes. Apple really needs to work on usability across all their apps, stores, services, OSes, etc.

As I’m typing this on my MacBook Pro 2014 I’m spending more time correcting for letters that don't get typed than the actual typing. The keyboard is wearing out after 7+ years. So it was definitely time to put this old computer into retirement!
