Every current Mac laptop user:
"Why the hell don't you release a retina macbook air? (A toy 'macbook' does not count.)
- auggierose 10y agoIf you feel the need for such a thing, why not just buy a MacBook Pro 13inch?
- johansch 10y agoI did. It's way too heavy for no apparent reason.
- _JamesA_ 10y agoThis current Mac laptop user bought a toy 'macbook' for portable development. It's replacing an aging MacBook Pro 17. I am running IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate and Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise (in a Windows 10 Fusion VM) without any issues. The lightweight portability and 12" retina screen are amazing.
- qubex 10y agoI second this. I'm using a just-refreshed 12" Retina MacBook ‘toy’ (BTO m7/8GB/512GB) and it is an utterly perfect, ‘nervous’ little machine that suits my varied computing needs perfectly (local databases, spreadsheets, data exploration, symbolic mathematics in Mathematica, general productivity word-processing/email and assorted browsing & multimedia). This is a machine that deserves respect.
- jghn 10y agoIs this one of the new macbooks? I'm strongly considering doing exactly this but figure at this point I might as well see what they have in store for MBP, or even MBA if they don't can the product line.
