what are you complaining about? the "retina macbook air" is simply called "macbook" now. it's the same great PPI display as everywhere else. the CPUs haven't changed much in 3 years. battery life is the same. why so much drama? what do you want?
if anything, apple has gone completely mainstream. you can get all of your computing done in gold now. in GOLD!
- close04 8y agoI think most people just want to have a good reason to buy a new Apple device and retire the old ones. I know I am. But personally I'm having a hard time finding one. My 2012 MBP is chugging along just fine albeit showing its age sometimes, also my iPad Air2, or the 2013 iMac. I'm aware that some things have improved but you don't buy a CPU, or a screen, you buy a package. And for every improvement Apple also bundled in some sort of failure. Some in usability, some in reliability, and the overall value proposition is going down.
- misterhtmlcss 8y agoCouldn't agree more. From this conversation one thought has occurred to me; what would a new Air in the current context look like and it gave me chills. Can you imagine a single port Air? Or the removal of it's triangular shape that makes typing long hours on it totally doable versus other chassis designs? I'm just horrified when I imagine the loss of the magnetic power port; which has literally saved me thousands of dollars due to it not being an effective trip wire.
