• Will the new Macbook Air serve me better than my aging pro? How much better? Lots?

    Currently running: Early 2011 Pro, 15", Quad Core i& 2.2Ghz, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD.

    Prospective: New Air, 13", 1.6GHz dual‑core eighth‑generation Intel Core i5 processor with Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz, 8gb RAM, 256GB SSD.

  • The new one is much more portable as it weighs less and the battery will be much better.
    Ssd will be faster.
    Connectivity to high Res monitors superior.

    But.

    Processing speed probably a bit slower.
    You will need to buy adaptors to use the new ports.
    You may hate the new keyboard​ which has very little travel.

  • why not a 13 macbook pro?
