MacBook or MacBook Air?

Hi all, I'm in the market for a thin yet portable laptop. Despite the travesty that is El Capitan I would like to stay in the Mac family if possible. Any suggestions? I've been eyeing the sleek MacBook but the Airs also look good. Have people tried the new keyboard on the MacBook? Feedback

Re: MacBook or MacBook Air?

Hi Sadam, my advice would be to think about what your needs are. How much battery life do you need? What do you plan to do on the computer? Personally, I switched from a MacBook to a MacBook air about four years ago, and haven't regretted it for a minute. I love the smaller size and the lighter

Re: MacBook or MacBook Air?

Thanks Donna, I will be doing a lot of traveling between home and school so good battery life is a must have. Did you switch from the old white 13-inch MacBook that Apple stopped producing in 2011? Will go to the Apple Store later this morning and have a play with the different laptops.

Re: MacBook or MacBook Air?

Hi Sadam This is helga! How are you? I have a Macbook Air 11 inches laptop computer. It works great so far with me! I'm still lerning it hwo to use it! But El Capitan works great! Everything works great in regards of email, documents and so on. Safari I thik it works great although sometiemes i

Re: MacBook or MacBook Air?

Hi Sadam, I did switch in 2011, but not from a white Macbook. As for battery life, I do get a full day out of my MBA. I think the official spec for this model is 12 hours, and that seems about right to me. My current MBA is a 2013. I have never had a problem with running out of juice during

Re: MacBook or MacBook Air?

One thing to remember is that in June or September, Apple will likely be releasing updates to its Macbook lineup. I'd wait for those, to either get the newest or grab the next-newest on sale. This is particularly true of the Retina Macbook, which doesn't have wonderful power right now (Core M pr

Re: MacBook or MacBook Air?

The current battery life across the Macbook Pro line is excellent. I can go a full day with a 13 or 15 inch device running the high end configurations. Note I’m using al SSD drives which are less power consuming. Also El Capitan has some decent power saving features that seem to really make a

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 typ

Re: MacBook or MacBook Air?

Hi: I’d wait until June for the new Macs to come out. If you need one right now, I’d go for the Macbook pro, or Macbook air over the regular Macbook. I’d choose the Macbook Pro if it were up to me. > On Apr 9, 2016, at 11:31 AM, Sadam Ahmed wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm in the market for a thin y

Re: MacBook or MacBook Air?

Hi! If you mean the new macbook i think it has less process power than the macbook air. SO i would go with the air. I have one myself and love it. /A > On 09 Apr 2016, at 18:45, Donna Goodin wrote: > > Hi Sadam, > > my advice would be to think about what your needs are. How much battery life >

Re: MacBook or MacBook Air?

Hi Sadam, Michelle Stevens here, I have had my Mac Air for close on 12 months. I love it. 'Because I am traveling to uni it is not too heavy to put in your briefcase or backpack. I am still learning about Mac and need to continuing my learning which at times have been challenging. Good lu

Hi Sabahattin and others, Today I went to the Apple Store to pick up my Watch which needed repair after a major melt down when I upgraded to 2.2 of the Watch OS. Whilst there got some hands on time with the MacBook and came away quite disappointed. The machine is very nice to hold but in a
