Yes I can't go past my mac book air 11" However mine is a custom built with highest specs possible for that model.
I get the best part of 9 hours out of it in el cap and approx. 6 hours from a bootcamp image of windows 10 in the same machine. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sabahattin Gucukoglu Sent: Sunday, 10 April 2016 9:13 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: MacBook or MacBook Air? Hi Sadam, If I were you, and my choice was limited to just the latest MBA11 and the latest MacBook, then there would be no contest: MBA11. Why? Connectivity. Like the first MacBook Air way back when it was introduced, the connectivity of the MacBook is horribly compromised: just one USB type C port. Even if I weren’t sold on the MBA’s slightly smaller size and its superior specifications, that one port would kill me. You’ve got to faff about with adaptors if you want peripherals of pretty much any variety that you already have, or if you also need power. You can’t benefit from Thunderbolt, which means you’re not getting Ethernet at no cost either. The machine is undoubtedly cute, of course, but in my opinion its real distinction is as a Mac for the iPad generation. If that is not you, I’d seriously consider staying with the tried and true and get a MacBook Air. It’ll be a good investment as long as Apple strive to keep OS X running lean on lower-end dual-core hardware. It’s either that, or wait for the next-generation MacBook, when Apple will probably do a Google and put in a second, much-needed USB type C connector, just like Google Pixel. Just my opinion, of course. What you need is entirely dependent on your tolerances, needs and desires. Oh, and BTW, you can downgrade to Yosemite on either, because that’s what both shipped with. You don’t have to use El Cap if you don’t want to. Cheers, Sabahattin -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
