Using that logic I don't know how Apple sells so many of its MacBooks. They're all expensive and have "specs like this", but the vast majority are not used for development, design or gaming.
I can see the appeal of a small (thinner than a MacBook Air), well constructed, blazingly fast laptop. If I could run 1Password on it I would be very tempted to take it for a spin, with the LTE it would make an excellent travel machine.
- MrVitaliy 14y agoMBAir is best dev laptop I ever had. Its super light, plenty of power and space for most app development and within reach price wise. Also, I suggest you look up Linus's rant about how he loves Mac book air and SSD for kernel development.
- ImprovedSilence 14y ago>> MBAir is best dev laptop I ever had. seconded.
- rdl 14y agoI wish the MBAir had 4G/LTE built in. That (and the higher res screen, and the platform security hw) are the things I like about the Pixel. I'm sure Apple will Retinize the MBAir in 2013 or 2014. I just don't get why LTE chipsets don't appear in any Mac products. I have a VZ MiFi and it's such a pain by comparison -- I'm fine paying $10/mo to Verizon for each mobile/etc. device I have.
- jonknee 14y agoI never suggested it's not a great machine.

- nbouscal 14y agoHe's not claiming otherwise, he's claiming that they frequently aren't used for anything more than that.
