I think that's the point: a new chip with mobile like performance does not qualify as a working machine

For what is worth when I do code review I could do it from my phone if only the mobile Gitlab interface was a bit better.

The i5 MacBook air is 999$ and it's not gonna change with the A13

I don't see any advantage for the end user




> I don't see any advantage for the end user

If it had the same price, the same performance, and twice the battery life, that would be an advantage to many users


Counterpoint: imagine finishing the job in half the time using two times the same battery power

I would make that trade, I would work less hours and spend half a day, everyday, off

Anyway

My matebook 13 does 15 hours of normal workload on battery while also being very thin and light (and 350 euros cheaper than an equivalent MacBook air)

It mounts an AMD Ryzen

I seriously doubt that I will need 30 hours on battery in the near future

Unless I'm stranded on a desert island, but I guess I'd have to face more serious problems then...

For whom?
