Love my new M2 MacBook Air!

I bought a BTO with 24 GB RAMM and a 2 TB SSD in Space Gray.

This is a really sweet machine—perhaps the BEST Mac I've ever owned! And I bought my first Mac 512 new in 1985! I've owned many over the years. Stand-out Macs for me were: the Mac 512 upgraded to a Plus; a Mac IIci; a Mac Cube; a Titanium Power Book; a couple Towers; a couple aluminum iMacs.

I also just bought a used 27" Thunderbolt Display, first built in 2011 and discontinued in 2016. It originally listed for $999, and I paid $499 for it, rated in "Excellent" condition, from macofalltrades.com.

After searching around Best Buy and Amazon for a USBC hub and not finding anything that suited my needs, once I hooked up my Thunderbolt Display, I realized that it is a much better "hub", as it has all the ports I want: ethernet, Thunderbolt (for my 4TB G-drive thunderbolt drive for Time Machine backups), and several USBC connectors.
