For a long time I walked the thin line between Apple and the Windows world. But Apple is just not worth it anymore. While Windows hardware generally gives us more for less Apple is going in the other direction. As beautiful, and sexy and dependable Mac/IOS is, for me its time to sink my limited funds into something that has value. I have been bouncing back and forth between the Ipad 10.5 and Surface Pro 5 with LTE. Now Microsoft is ADDING LTE to the SP 6 and it looks like it had me at HELLO.
Gosh Dallas is too cold 🥶
Too close to the Pro nTB in price imo, for that 100USD you get a P3 gamut, 500 nits screen, better speakers, Iris Plus graphics, higher wattage CPUs, and not that much worse battery life. If the non-touchbar also got an update any time soon to a ULV quad core and T2/Butterfly 3, it would be far away the better choice.
Actually the Sony x505 was a beautiful thin laptop long before MacBook airs were dreamed of.
For $100 more, the MBP display is worth it alone.
11:37, notice anything weird about the thermal design? This appears to be the first Macbook with a fan that doesn’t directly exhaust through heatsink fins, instead just pushing air straight out and creating negative air pressure inside, and whatever ambient airflow over the heatsink comes with it. Works well enough for the 7W chip, but that’s another reason the Pro non-touchbar even with two cores performs better.
A laptop for non peasants and artists. Mac OS is a gift from God.
Great review…mediocre product.
Due to the poor price/performance recently, I’m going to majorly delay upgrading all of my macOS/iOS devices. Honestly, I’m getting a ton of value from mainstream PC hardware running both Windows & Linux. I’m perplexed by people who have no problem plunking down big bucks to upgrade every couple of years or even more often. Oh well, great review as usual.
I was waiting for your review and you cleared my mind as always! You rock Lisa, thanks 🙏
This thing is .75 pounds heavier than the 12″ MacBook, only .3 pounds lighter than the 13″ MacBook Pro, thicker at its thickest point than the 13″ MacBook Pro, and is only $100 cheaper than the touch bar-less 13″ MacBook Pro. They took a machine that was being marketed as an affordable laptop for students and made it needlessly expensive and unaffordable for the majority of students. The new Air should be $1000 max, and that includes the stupid $200 Apple tax.
Apple is making the same mistake they made in the 90’s. They have too many products (which creates a confusing product stack), and it’s no longer clear who each product is made for. There’s nothing “Pro” about base model MacBook Pros. Who is the 12″ MacBook targeting? How is that market different from the market the new 13″ Air is targeting?
You always say 5 – it’s not.
With thermal design and screen what it is looks like Apple is not even trying hard anymore just slap glue components and ship it for cool 1200.
I’ve had mine for 5 days now. I’m sending it back. I can’t justify paying the price increase for such an average machine. Build quality is great, does what I need it to, but nothing special. At US$1400 (Canadian $1,749) for the 8GB LPDDR”3″ /256GB SSD it’s about 50% more expensive than a quality Windows machine with the same specs. So after 12 years of being a MacOS user, I’m about to dive into the wonderful world of Windows. Suggestions on which laptop? Dells XPS 13 is premium priced in Canada.
The TouchID sensor is on a separate board, but is it paired to the logic board as was done on the earlier iPhones?
Microcenter has the 128gb version for $999 for those in the market and fortunate to have one within their residence.
$800 worth of hardware/software and $400 for the logo
I purchased this MacBook Air with an upgraded hard drive. The employee accidentally upgraded the RAM to 16GB too. It was quite expensive and I didn’t notice until later (don’t ask). Question is, is the 16GB RAM upgrade worth it? Isn’t it in less need considering it is not the fastest processor, and the graphics card isn’t actually stellar? I don’t run servers or anything. My pro has the 16GB and I do feel I need it on it, but the Air was being purchased for travel/education. Also, it says I’m using 7.60 GB of physical memory when I’m barely even running the programs I would normally run, which are really just readers/education applications. I am so confused. that seems like a lot. Anyone have thoughts?
“Stockholm syndrome for keyboards”. Best comment!
Apple is not what it once was… My Surface Pro 6 with i5,keyboard and PEN … 128gb ssd at Costco all for $800.00 with a 4 year warranty included when you put it on a Costco credit card… sweet! Sale starts on the 16th of November 2018
