Truthfully, it's why I'm very sad that the Air looks to be discontinued. I'm still using a 2012 MacBook Air, and it was quite possibly the least stressful computer purchase I ever made. $1000 and some change to get a computer that has just worked magnificently for nearly 6 years now without missing a beat. I walked into an Apple Store, told the Apple employee I wanted a 4 gb MacBook Air, and in 5 minutes I walked out with one, no other pressure or sales pitches.
It was a very relaxed experience for me, and I certainly hope that it's still the same with Apple. $1000 isn't chump change, but it's accessible for someone just a little above the poverty line like me.
- watmough 8y agoYes, on my Air now. It's like my old G4 12" AlBook, just a no-hassle, always there laptop.
- bdowling 8y agoWhy do you think that the Air is discontinued? They're still up for sale on Apple's site. The most recent updates were apparently in 2017.
- simonh 8y agoHe said looks t be. There are rumours of a new low cost Mac laptop with different branding. ‘Air’ branding doesn’t make sense for the low end model that’s not actually the thinnest and lightest in the range, which it hasn’t been since the MacBook came out.
- bdowling 8y agoI did read that, but I interpreted "looks to be" to mean the present appearance. Obviously the Air will be discontinued at some point, and when that happens it won't come as a surprise to anyone.
- ac29 8y agoIts still using a processor from 2015. The 2017 updates were a minor spec bump.
- robin_reala 8y agoThe 11” was discontinued, which was a shame. My favourite laptop ever.
