Definitely going from 2015 MacBook Air to this new one for my personal at-home coding laptop, as long as I like the keyboard when trying it out.
I had really been wanting to upgrade for Retina & better processor but I knew they would upgrade the processor and fix the keyboard if I waited for 2020... no reason to wait now.
I don't run any crazy fat Docker stacks for my own stuff at home, so this is perfect.

- skrtskrt 7y agoI really don't need that much extra memory or performance, I thoroughly dislike the touch bar, and I want a slimmer/lighter form factor. My at-home hobby work is in Golang and Python, and not particularly compute-intensive stuff. Neither of those have huge heavy toolchains. Really the main thing driving an upgrade from my minimum-spec 2015 Air is the Retina display.
