The MacBook Air has FINALLY been updated for 2018, but can it keep up with the much stiffer competition in the ultrabook market?

Yeah but did you realize none of the flagship Android manufacturers include headphone jack these days? As if Apple is the only one ditched the headphone jack. They kept the headphone jack on the Macs because pro apps like Logic Pro X which is a DAW(Digital Audio Workstation) are for professionals and they do need a headphone jack. Unlike Google who's going to ditch the headphone jack on the Pixelbook 2019 as they ditched it on the last year's Pixel Slate.

Likely they can't get off their lazy bum to integrate the two OSes that they've built. Likely code is so shit they're better off rewriting one or both of them, which they couldn't justify the cost of. Seems like people doing this on a volunteer basis (linux) will soon outpace apple at this rate.
@TheHellogs4444 5 жыл бұрын
@Kamal Kristipati I don't like touchscreen on laptops either. And to bolster my point, windows is so bad Linux touchpad gestures and navigation is better. Built by volunteers. How exactly would you describe windows then? I'd say they're incompetent. Iirc Linux had gestures programming before jobs even returned to Apple. Whichever way you look at it, EVERYTHING is better off being open source. It's not like everybody will now use a windows fork if they DID do it. They can just add the new feature to mainline windows too. (Look at how many people use Android forks rn. Very few, because mainline takes the best of all worlds.) People are what they are. To me it appears stupid/lazy/not well thought out because I see no business value to their approach. We're seeing companies of this kind right now, look around.
@TheHellogs4444 5 жыл бұрын
@Kamal Kristipati To address your point directly, yes, what you're saying is their perspective. You're including them in your empathy, they don't include you. Their OS not being designed that way is a NEGATIVE. Why do you see it as "that's how god meant it to be"? So much blind love lmao. So much that neutral comments appear like hate.

steven4570 With $2600 I can get an extremely competent, high performance, quad+ core, dedicated graphics gaming laptop with similar storage performance. And that’s a conservative estimate. With Apple you’re paying for the OS, shiny logo, and bragging rights. It comes with a complementary intelligence reduction too, so I guess that’s a plus.

I absolutely despise the new keyboards.
@Ereinion25 4 жыл бұрын
@kimmym1119depends on what you're building really. For most regular web development it's still perfectly capable, but if you're gonna write C++ games with Unreal (which I did with the air since I had no alternative machine at the time) it's definitely not ideal to say the least. What probably really helped is that the 2012 air to age well was the first Macbook that came with a decent SSD instead of slow HDD or flash storage. That said, I did replace it last month though. Switched jobs to where I have lots of compiling and building on heavy, large applications to be done. And for that it simply not as fast as modern machines.

That is insanely false. Apple has no problem with cannibalizing their own products. If they were so concerned with that kind of thing they never would have released the iPhone which destroyed iPod sales. The real reason is the design folk at Apple don't think a touchscreen feels natural on a laptop and macOS is not designed with a touchscreen in mind. If they were to introduce you would expect a heavy UI redesign at which point apple would probably just point to the iPad pro.

About the multitasking thing, you can actually organize pretty well, when you go full screen on a program or app, you can swipe them, with the 3 fingers gesture, to the sides goes to the next to the right or left, and if you go up, it shows you everything and it lets you arrange them in the most convenient order. Fullscreen also gives you extra screen space. About the desktop, you can establish a command to clear the desktop. So many great things with the Mac OS, but i miss a lot my old fx 8350 build... Also you can divide the screen placing your desired apps in the desktop and hold the green button until it splits.

That works, and is better then not having window splitting at all, but it simply cannot be compared to how easy it is to do the same thing in Windows. It takes pretty much zero effort to do the same thing in Windows, and you can also do 4-way splitting just as easily. There are definitely things I like about Mac OS/Macbooks, but the price and horrible split screen usability keep me far away by themselves.

The specs were very impressive but failed to operate at anything less than 90+ degrees celsius under load, the bezel got so hot that I suspect the heat being vented through the touch screen from the top bezel melted the glue attaching the screen to the chassis. This happened on two occasions after RMA. I therefore caved, and for the first time ever bought the macbook 13 with touch bar. Still getting use to the mac OS, but the design and simplicity just works, the touch pad is as good as linus mentioned and the touch bar whilst not a necessity adds some QOL improvements. Even under load the temperatures remain well within satisfactory territory and never gets so hot as to not be able to touch it.

Also, it can break windows into thirds (1/3 and 2/3) either left or right justified. Also allows you to. move apps from one screen to another easily. The best part about it. - it's free.

Touchscreens have a purpose when your laptop you can rotate the screen around. Then you can - watch videos more immersively when you put into a upside down v-shape and still navigate on the screen - use Powerpoint (or keynote) more comfortably (when you do animations for example) - use your laptop at university to write comments right on the PowerPoint - use certain programs more comfortably in general like anything where it comes to a lot of drag and drop, adjust geometric froms or sizes of objects ( it's super annoying to use the cursor for this after some time)

The biggest issues with the MacBook Air (coming from an apple fanboy) are the name and price, since you can get a underpowered, LIGHTER and THINNER MacBook for $100 more, or you can get a thicker, .25lb heavier and more powerful Mac for the same $100 that you’d pay on the lower end

My verdict on touchscreens is that before I had a 2 in 1, I didn't care. Now that I've used one for 2 years, I constantly tap the screen of business MacBooks and Thinkpads and am disappointed.

C2L Redstone Yes, me too. A modern laptop without touchscreen seems out of date. Scroll, pinch, expand, quick touch, they are natural on a touchscreen. Seems awkward and slow to touch a pad, move the cursor from where it is to where I want it, then touch the pad again so I can do the thing that I could have already done just by touching the screen.

Having recently moved from a laptop with touchscreen to one without, I find myself touching the screen often.

I had a touchscreen desktop for a while and it was pretty nice. You don't realize how helpful it is until you have one.
