The author is mixing arguments. Sometimes he's referring to previous generation of Air (magsafe), sometimes to nobody knows what (touchbar -> you can buy pro without touchbar). Classic human behaviour in practice. First buying, then convincing yourself, that you did good, by making up arguments. We all do that, but I wouldn't write article about that, because it'll always end up unbalanced.

> touchbar -> you can buy pro without touchbar Kinda. If you do, you get the 2016 specs machine, not the 2018 bumped specs. Maybe it is not rational, but if I am forking over that kind of money for a machine, I would want to get the best version, not an artificially gimped one.

> (touchbar -> you can buy pro without touchbar) He's obviously referring to the latest 15" MBP, or any quad-core MBP. You can't buy one without a touch bar. The existing stock for older 13" MBP without touch bar aren't new models. They are older models still being sold. So no, you can't buy a new MBP without a touch bar. Edit: And saw one of your other comments: they aren't selling 15-inch MBPs without a touch bar.

  >He's obviously referring to the latest 15" MBP I don't think he is. He is referring to his older macbook pro. He is even saying is that Air is less powerful then MBP. So not so obviously as you think. "Decreased firepower? – The MacBook Air isn’t as powerful as the MBP, " EDIT: Arguing on HN is nightmare. It costs lot of karma. And I can't downvote yet. Not fair.

    > Arguing on HN is nightmare. It costs lot of karma. And I can't downvote yet. Not fair. This is why you shouldn't have the right to downvote. You don't use down voting to argue. In fact, if you down vote something in reply to, you are literally saying that whatever you reply with is worth less than the comment you are replying to. A down voted comment by definition adds _nothing_ to the conversation and doesn't belong.

      Yes, only you and only you should have the right.
