But you just compromised on every single point they laid out. So it’s not really an alternative any more than a Fiat 500 is equivalent to a Cadillac Escalade.

Sure they both do the same basic task, and they both may be good options in isolation, but they’re not comparable as a whole, and only comparable if you focus on only specific metrics.
- smoldesu 4y agoI've used Mac hardware though, I know what it does and where it's strong points are. The new Macbook designs are really good, arguably a return to the pre-2015 years when Mac laptops weren't designed with eggshells and fairy teeth. That being said, you can get 80% of the experience for 50% of the price these days. Laptop manufacturers are simply catching up, the gap isn't as wide as it used to be.

Take your previous comment, you already compromised on screen resolution (the Air is higher than 2k - depending especially on what ambiguous definition of 2k is being used , it’s slightly higher than QuadHD and quite a bit higher than 1080p), and battery life. Both of those are things they stated as important to them.
