It's an incredible machine, i got the 8gb, i7 upgrade and apple care. I used my previous macbook for 7 years so if I get the use out of it, it will have been low cost.
- winter_blue 13y ago7 years is looong time to use the same machine. I can't imagine doing it. I'd probably use it for 3 years before replacing it. (FYI I bought my last laptop in October '12). I'm not so sure if it's that incredible. The battery life is definitely incredible. But the screen is just 1440x900. Also, what about performance? It seems like it offers just average performance (a necessary compromise for such long battery life)...
- blackdogie 13y agocan anyone explain what major difference to expect from the i5 to i7 core upgrade ? Speed & large cache is what I saw on the specs, but is there something else I'm missing ? Any noticeable battery change ?
- winter_blue 13y agoAnandtech has done an in-depth review on precisely this (the i5 vs i7 on the MBA), and it seems like battery life is not really affected (in a few case it is - but the difference is negligible).
