"Pro Tip: The MacBook Air line of today has taken over for the MacBook line ..."
OK, I think that is correct.
But then what is the MacBook Air now ?
I am typing on a 2015 11" MBA that is, in my opinion, the high point of laptop design and execution ever. With this laptop, Apple solved the laptop - the same way that they solved the tower form factor with the original Mac Pro.
- seppin 7y agoI prefer the newer keyboard, but otherwise I agree. My 2014 11'' with 16GB RAM performs better than a 2018 MBP.
- JohnTHaller 7y ago> But then what is the MacBook Air now ? There isn't one. There's the MacBook Pro, which is the higher end laptop line and the MacBook Air, which is the lower end. That said, both the current Pro and Air are thinner than the original MacBook Air and the same weight or slightly lighter.

That may be, but there is no 11" model so it's a bigger thing to put in my briefcase/bag ... I knew I should have purchased three identical 2015 11" MBAs ... I bought two and I am on #2 now ... when it breaks there is nothing to replace it with.
- JohnTHaller 7y agoAh right, the screen size and case size. I forgot about they were smaller in that respect, sorry.
- pozdnyshev_ 7y agoStill using a 2012 11" MBA and have only had to replace the battery once. Occasionally open it up and replace thermal paste but that's it.
