I got a refurb 2017 non Touch Bar MBP still chugging along. The only thing I'm jelly about on the Air is the touchID. I prefer the square form factor over the wedge of the new MBA.

Saw the Macbook air at BB today. Felt really good, premium as always with Apple.

Very responsive. I can tell it will have a long shelf life in the lineup.

My only thing is, I still don't see why someone would go for it over the 13 inch pro. The ONLY way I can see how it fits in is if Apple drops the price on the 12inch macbook (somewhere between $799-$899, or say screw it and discontinue the model altogether) AND if Apple stops offering the 13inch pro without touchbar.

But overall, I like it. The MBA was huge in the dev community. Lightweight, quick, and could handle any processes we needed at the time. This new Air does just that I feel, but at this point, all of us devs have moved on to the Pro line since it is now also super lightweight.

Basically answered it in your last line. Size and weight will eventually win people over, and is what got people to the MacBook in the first place. Those factors play a lot in peoples decisions on devices. Even though the pro has shrunk in size significantly, when you hold an Air, it will be a choice the buyer makes.

What size is this? And what do you primarily use your pad for?

I might cave and buy one tomorrow. I've been waiting too long for a full screen ipad.

But I want cellular

I use it for work and online courses. I also travel a lot and this way more convenient than bringing the MacBook everywhere I go . Plus I have the lte version so no matter where I’m at I have sometime of service . It’s the smaller size one I think 11 inch I’m coming from the og 12.9

I went with the 256 cellular version

Finally a teardown of the Mac Mini. Upgrading the RAM is easy.

Yup Apple finally threw a bone to the consumers lol. Best way to get into MacOS imo. A shame that the SSD isnt the same, but to be fair, they have the fastest SSD's on the market for the most part.

Silly but idk how I got my bookmarks onto the bar like that. How do I remove? Safari.

Bruh I thought my MBP was fried

Anyone else get this display problem? It’s happened to me 2-3 times recently. That little square that’s slightly brighter than the rest of the screen has been in different locations each time. I want to say this problem occurs when I close my screen while something was streaming such as Netflix and when I open it up again later in the day/next day it’s this screen. Closing and opening the screen again to make the laptop “sleep” doesn’t seem to fix it. Only fix I’ve found is to do a force restart by holding the power button.

 

[mike honcho]

Also, has anyone with touchbar MacBook had a problem where a control such as the brightness meter or volume meter freezes on the touchbar?? I’m trying to figure out how to avoid this. Quickest fix I found is to just close the screen for a split second to the the display and touchbar “sleep” then open it back up and it’s reset.

i have a macbook pro too. it's fine. aside from night mode, nothing too different. shouldn't be too taxing on your resources either

Agreed. I'm gonna hold off and cop the new Mini sooner or later though.

Yea pretty much waiting on that. I will upgrade my laptop maybe in a year or two. Once I settle with my upcoming move, I will def be in for a mini.
