I’ve owned a lot of computers and my pre-retina MacBook Air was one of my faves. So much seat time, so many LoC written. I loved the wedge shape of the chassis for actual lap work. Disappointed they moved to the square chassis like other models but it’s so thin it might not be a dealbreaker.
- dangus 4y agoI thought it'd be an issue when my work shipped me the new 14" MacBook Pro, but I found it pretty easy to pick up the laptop thanks to the bigger feet, and the bottom edges of the case that have a rounded shape. I think with the Air's weight being slightly less than the outgoing model, the shape isn't going to be so much of a concern. I don't need more than two Thunderbolt ports, but I would have liked to see one of them on the right side of the case.
- wiredfool 4y agoYeah, I had a 2012 era MBA, and it was basically the ideal laptop, until it didn't have the power to run XCode (so I bought a 2015 15"). The M1 Air is there again, fast enough, light enough, good enough keyboard, and incredible battery life. I'm due for a work laptop upgrade soon, and I'm on the fence between a maxed MBA m2 and a 14" M1 Pro with 32G ram. It'll be mainly tethered to one big monitor, but light weight would be nice when commuting, as often as I do that.
