- davidw 13y agoHe's price conscious though, and that's a fairly expensive machine in its own right. It's still worth a look though, as the value of getting a machine that 'just works' is not to be discounted. It would drive me bonkers to get a computer with no apt-get, no focus follows mouse, one mouse button (three is best), and so on.
- Terretta 13y agoOne mouse button? MBA has four.
- davidw 13y ago> MBA has four. Yeah? I haven't looked at one in person for ages, and don't see any at all in the Apple site pictures, so I'm guessing that you just tap the trackpad? But what if you want to right click to do something, or middle click to paste some text?
- epaga 13y agoyou can click on both the left or the right corner and have that trigger a left/right click. alternatively (and by default), a two-finger tap is a "right click". not sure about a middle click.
- WayneDB 13y agoWhen you boot an MBA directly to a different OS - you lose multi-touch.
- Terretta 13y ago@davidw said a computer with no apt-get, so I'm assuming he's talking about the MBA while using OSX. If he booted into a different OS, he'd have apt-get.
- de_dave 13y agoI got mine my top spec XPS 13 for around £700 (refurb'd by Dell). Nearest MBA was over £1,100, and it had lesser specs. Both the Dell and Apple refurb stores should be your first port of call.
