Lentor Mansion Preview Starts on 1st March

I have joined in the fun with the purchase of the base model of the Apple M1 MacBook Air. It has been 4 years since I got the MacBook Pro (a refurnished unit with Touch Bar). It has really served me well and I have pushed back on upgrading it (I was once, so close to ordering to the 16 inch MacBook Pro). But seriously, it has been a good work horse and has been pretty stable (actually very stable) and survived many a road trips and is a great companion.

But me being me…. could NOT resist the temptation so last week, on my visit to the amazing Apple Store at the Marina Bay Sands, I got myself the base model of the MacBook Air. This is a 8GB MacBook Air with 512 GB SSD. Okay.. the second item on the menu available for walk in customers. I did stopped myself from getting the 16GB MacBook Air with 1 TB SSD 🙂
