Parker Ortolani blogging about the new MacBook Air. I hadn’t even thought about the color until now:

For the first time in 24 years, since the introduction of the first white iBook, Apple has a blue laptop again. While the new MacBook Airs are most certainly a “spec bump,” they make for a pretty good one.

@ryanbooker It was closer to black than blue, though, right? 🙂 I guess it's debatable but this feels like the first actually blue laptop since the G3 iBook.

@manton I wish that they had leaned into the colours more though and had a brighter blue or even the lavender of the iPads.

@cathyr.bsky.social Yeah, more colors would be welcome. I was a little disappointed when upgrading my iPhone that the purple from my previous phone was no longer an option.

@manton Their purples are lovely.

And I’ve just realised with the 16e replacing the SE, there are no more red phones (and connected charity support) 😢
