That sucks. May I ask why you got the MacBook? The air always liked like a better deal to me.

- thenewwazoo 11y agoNot OP, but I bought one because of the HighDPI screen. Looking at the Air's low-res screen makes me feel like there's something wrong with my eyes. With that said, it's far from a perfect laptop.
- realeyes 11y agoCan I ask what makes it far from perfect? I'm really considering buying one but I'm afraid it might be too slow for my liking.
- tomcam 11y agoIn my option it's quite close to perfect. I do dev work using Go, JS, and markup so speed is not a problem at all--if you're doing heavy compiler work YMMV. The fanless thing is incredibly important to me. I find the new keyboard harder to use than that of the Macbook Air, but I'm sure I'll adapt. I'm not creating music on it so the lack of a USB 2 connector doesn't matter to me. I have to admit just the USB C and the headphone cord are plenty. Its slimness and lightness are also important to me. My inviolate rule is that the more portable a laptop is, the more I'm likely to carry it with me to do extra work. Wall wart & magsafe issues are not deal killers for me. I'd recommend it if it fits your requirements exactly, as it did mine. Otherwise, I'd go with a high spec MacBook Air, because they're faster and, with the extra USB port, more practical for many uses.
- tomcam 11y agoI have all models of the Air. Love it, but the fan goes on randomly and drives me nuts.
