Yeah, I replaced my wife's marginally upgraded 2011 MacBook Air recently with the 2019 MacBook Air because I got tired of looking at that shitty TN panel on the old Air.
8 years later and the base model $1100 MacBook still has 8GB of ram and 256GB of storage, just like the 2011 MacBook Air I wanted to replace.
What the fuck happened?

- CoolGuySteve 7y agoYeah, the HP Envy 13 I use has a sharper display, a 1TB SSD, and 16GB of RAM, and twice as many cores for $100 cheaper than the 2019 MacBook Air. It got crushed by an airline seat reclining but other than some slight warping it's fine, so the build quality is actually pretty decent on it. The only things worse about the Envy are the tiny trackpad and the lack of OS X, but I prefer Ubuntu to OS X these days anyways.
