I’ve been wanting a brand new 12 inch macbook since my 2015 became slow and unreliable.

I will lose my marbles if the bodies are plastic. What else could they cut costs on?

While I loved it personally the majority did not

It was actually a hit, but it was the piss poor performance of the Intel M chips and the relentless butterfly switch problems that forced Apple to discontinue it. Everyone wants the smallest, cheapest, most basic Mac. From basic users to many IT professionals and all those hipster stores that use Mac based POS systems.
