One of the most attention-grabbing aspects of the new M4 MacBook Air was the announcement of a new color: sky blue.While I’m of the view that gadgets should be silver or black, plenty of people clearly welcome the idea of more colorful MacBook Air models.Only, reviewers all seem to agree that the new blue color isn’t very, well, either blue or colorful.
So is it time for Apple to offer some truly colorful MacBook Air finishes … ? One reviewer said that he thought Apple had made a mistake and sent him the silver model by mistake, as there was no sign of the blue color he expected.Others variously described the blue as subtle or barely visible.But given that there seem to be plenty of people who’d appreciate a splash of color with their MBA, should the company lean in more, with some vivid colors? Last year, Basic Apple Guy posted an April Fool’s post on Threads, claiming Apple had done just that.
Plenty of people responded by saying they’d been ready to order one.There seems to be a strong feeling that while the MacBook Pro might have to be professional and corporate looking, there’s room for the MacBook Air to be more fun.What do you think?
