is there anyone on earth who actually cares about a few mm of thinness? this angle has always boggled my mind, i've never in my life thought 'boy, this laptop sure is great, but i wish it were thinner'
- bdon 10y agoIt's an appealing upgrade product to current Air owners (myself included) that want to keep roughly the same form factor without getting the slower MacBook, so yes, I do care about the slightly smaller dimensions.
- joeguilmette 10y agoI do? I'm a professional user and I used a MBA for years bc I travel a lot. I had a VM, Sketch, Illustrator, and lots of other power hungry tools running. Last year I switched to a MacBook bc I couldn't handle the shitty MBA screen. It worked, but I'm excited I can now afford, in terms of bad space, a more powerful laptop (with Touch ID, a larger screen, retina, more RAM, faster processor, bigger HD, bigger trackpad, better keyboard, touch bar). I'm very excited for this release.
