There's videos going around complaining about the cooling system, but I think that misses the point. The Air is not a workhorse and has never been advertised as one.

I still hope we see some more creativity again on that front. I miss the colorful iPod nano.
I made it a point to get a green iPhone 11, and while it's not my favorite hue, it's so nice to not have yet another white/silver/black thing. (Likewise, I get first- or third-party Watch bands now and then, just to mix things up. Nothing of the kind for the Mac, though!)

I figure by June I should know all there is to know and then I'll feel like I can (finally) pull the trigger by mid-summer (you know, assuming we're all still alive and so forth).

Yeah, I think we'll see some kind of update on the 13-inch (or 14) Pro in Q2. Almost certainly a storage bump, since the Air got it. And no more butterfly keyboard.
Price drop, though, I don't know. Maybe?
