I haven’t heard a thing about the air being discontinued, maybe others have but no such rumor here. I had a best buy guy try to tell me the air was 6th gen intel but I don’t buy it, I don’t think the product line has been updated yet but that was the claim in the store anyway. > On Sep 12, 201

Hi thank you. But can I ask, is Apple still upgrading hardware for the Air? Asking as thought I heard somewhere they were no longer upgrading hardware on the Air and instead focus on the new Macbook. If they are still upgrading hardware on the Air, this could be an avenue to explore. > On 12

Hi! Remember that the Air still is a very small unit. So if you don’t get the macbook with retina display and get the air she will have a very small and compact and very lightweight unit. One thing i do love with the mac is the magnetic plug for the electrical chord. So if you happen to stumble up

No, it's different. The keys have much less space between them, and don't move as far down or up. It's harder to type on at first. I've only seen one in a store, not used it long-term, so can't say if it's something you get used to or not. Still, for more power and a better keyboard at the expen

I think your mac application screams MacBook air to me. The pro is a real work course and has a lot of power you may not need. The 15 especially has a lot of horse power and is probably over kill. The air is super light, decently powered and has good performance for the money. It’s also not
