KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 17 — After reviewing hundreds of laptops over the years, the MacBook Air is perhaps still the standard bearer for a laptop that weighs very little, while not asking you to compromise on much.Apparently there is a demand for laptops that size and Apple hadn’t as yet addressed the segment, perhaps assuming that most people who wanted more screen space would just get a monitor for more display space.
Cheaper laptops with plastic construction have one common weak point — the plastic hinges that hold up the display. Eventually over time, the plastic often warps or shatters and is not replaceable. I did, however, recently find out the little to no clearance between the display and keyboard when you close the lid of a MacBook means anything thicker than the crepe paper they pack the laptop in could compromise the screen.
Another thing — the MacBook Air 15 coming just a few months when Apple will probably announce the creation of new M3 processors. I’d turn it on in the morning, do my work, make it suffer a little with Pixelmator and the odd Steam game and by the time I am watching cat videos on it at 12am, it still had enough battery power to enable my impulse online shopping for a couple more hours.
So, do you get this machine or not? Someone I know started a new job and his first request was for a MacBook Air 15-inch so yes, some people really want it but do you?
