Macbook Air is more than just hardware. It's hardware and software working together to make the experience.
I doubt a $540 machine running Windows will match it.
I very much dislike Windows, but I realize that's just me. Linux on this machine would be awesome.
- andrepd 10y agoI dislike Windows but I dislike OSX even more, so software is indifferent for me, seeing as I will be installing Linux anyway. I suspect there are many people who think like me.
- baldfat 10y agoI am also have an extremely negative feelings for OSX. As a Linux and Windows user it is just frustration for me all the time. Plus I have the magic touch of making every Mac to crash while I am trying to get a contracted job done on the customers location. It is seriously so frustrating. (Mostly it is video/music production related)
- JustSomeNobody 10y agoOS X nudges past Linux for me because it is much more efficient (this is what I was alluding to in my statement about hardware and software working together). If Linux could work out some way of being just as efficient with the battery as OS X, I would put Linux on my laptop instead of keeping it only on my server.
- andrepd 10y agoI don't know of any objective benchmarks on that regard, but I do know that Linux is famously erratic in conserving power, with results often varying a lot depending on the specific hardware.
