By making Apple Intelligence backward compatible, Apple just made the M1 MacBook Air worth buying again.

This story is part of our complete Apple WWDC coverage Apple finally stopped selling the M1 MacBook Air earlier this year. With a price cut to the M2 MacBook Air and the introduction of the M3, I was finally ready to stop recommending it as well.

So, while there may be some disappointed that macOS Sequoia doesn’t go back as far, the fact that Apple has been able to enable AI features on four-year-old laptops is pretty impressive. It’s especially noteworthy when comparing to Microsoft’s Copilot+ launch, which reserved on-device AI features only for new laptops.

Even so, the price difference is going to make these M1 MacBook Airs particularly attractive again. You can buy a refurbished M1 MacBook Air for under $500 right now. Knowing that you can get the latest AI features in a MacBook that cheap is mind-blowing. There’s a bigger reason for Apple’s more generous approach though. In the end, Apple doesn’t appear to be introducing AI to sell laptops this quarter like Microsoft is. It’s investing in the long-term future of the Mac and proving that it hasn’t fallen behind.
