Because if the machine can easily video edit, it can pretty much surf the web, type your love letter to your puppy, or "code". So that you who don't video edit, can know that the machine can do what you would want it to do.

My girlfriend has a mid-2012 Macbook Air and, in 2019, almost every time we watch movies on it (connected to an external display), I am completely in awe at how amazing the speakers are. They are super loud, have a nice amount of low-end, clear mid-range, and highs... basically the full auditory spectrum is well balanced and all coming out of speakers that you can't even see! After all these years, it still seems like magic. I'm super curious to hear for myself how the speakers are in newest version of the Air. Nice video :)

I fall in to that camp of my whole ecosystem is Apple. And I need a new computer to replace my 2009 MBP. I don’t do video editing. I may mess around in iMovie & GarageBand for family stuff but nothing professional. I think the new 2018 MacBook Air would be perfect for me, but I’d want to upgrade the RAM to 16GB & the SSD to at least 512GB. My iTunes library is too large even for 256GB. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive. I think the Air should have been much cheaper & replaced the 12” MacBook completely. That way there’d be more of a tangible difference between the Air & the MacBook Pro.

Have you considered iTunes Match? For $25 a year you could store all your music in the cloud and stream it through your phone, you can cutdown on phone storage as well. The downside is that 256kbps is as high as the bitrate goes, you don't actually upload your music, Apple just matches your songs to the ones on their service, unless they can't match it, in that case your song is uploaded. I use it, and have never gone back.

@@insertusername7141 nice, paying more money to encourage Apple's tactic of further squeezing consumer :) No offense Apple make good products but they're making the cost of ownership too high, squeezing every last drop out of user's pocket. Nowadays if you buy any new Apple product, buying Apple Care for 3 years is pretty mandatory because you can not go to third party repair and if you go to Apple repair after that one year warranty, it cost you as much as a new device. This is why I stop any further investment in their Eco system after iPhones & Ipad. Cloud make you dependent on a good internet connection. I'd suggest just get an external hard drive, or better yet, a NAS in his home that connect to a good router and he and his family can store all their files in the NAS which can be easily accessed both locally or via the internet. Each user can have separated password protected storage area. With the NAS, also no dongle needed.

The best entry-level MacBook is a used/refurb now 'old' MacBook Air. It's less than half the price of anything they have new and it still does all the basic stuff just fine for most people.

Bought the 2017 Air with 256 gb SSD new in July. And I agree it's quick enough for my daily stuff. At home it's hooked up to an external screen and the few times I'm on the road with it it's own screen is sufficient. Got a 400 gb sd card for additional storage and have 2 old school USB ports to hook up my devices. So yeah. My Air was 1199 euro, 129 for the SD card. So about the same price as the basic 2018 Air. But with over 500 gb more storage :) And by the looks of it, similar in speed as well.

What monitor would you recommend to use as an external screen for my 2016 MacBook Pro? Not really a gamer, more for work, productivity and very light gaming? I keep hearing how some screens end up looking messed up when the MacBook gets connected due to resolution or something?

If it's just for school, buy the 2017 MBA as save yourself money. It's also got more ports. I got one couple of months ago and saved myself nearly €500. Now that the MBA 2018 is out the price of the previous one is bound to drop even further.

I am using the Macbook Air right now and am very happy with it. I have a much larger and much more powerful Dell Inspiron 7567 for games and higher workloads. Being fearful of the Abyss that the Apple Ecosystem is, I sold my last gen iPad pro, and I have a Samsung S8 so I am staying far away from getting into the abyss. Some would say that I am losing a lot of what makes the Apple tax worth it by not indulging in the ecosystem at all, but I disagree and feel that my suite of devices works very well for me as a comsci major looking to have a foot in Windows, Linux and MacOS. Personally, I was fearful of jumping up to the Macbook Pro because of the second gen keyboard, which let's face it is unreliable and a bit louder when compared to the third gen. And also, the Air has better thermal performance as far as I've been able to gather.

Actually I think I would go with the regular MacBook as the portability and smaller size is extremely valuable to me. I take my laptop to school, and the MacBook Air is almost a whole pound heavier. Additionally the MacBook costs less if you spec them out to the same size storage. I, as do most people, do not need the minimal extra power of the MacBook Air. The only thing that is keeping from buy the MacBook over the air is the fingerprint scanner and the and dual thunderbolt ports on the air.
