Upvote for serious. The commercial isn't wrong - I love my 11" Air like no laptop I've had before.

But with iPhones, iPads, iPod touches, and 13" MacBook Pros in my office all being much crisper than my beloved Air, it's starting to feel a bit dated.

(Also 4k Cinema Display ok thanks)




It's not just the low resolution - it's also a TN panel. It's just a terrible display compared to almost anything you can find in an ultrabook in the same price range these days.

Which is a shame because I really love everything else about the MBA.


Dated and somewhat of a misfit in terms of pricing. I can get an iPad Air for nearly the same price, but I can't run VMs or code front-end stuff on it (I used to hack away on an iPad at libraries and other stuff that had longer iterations, but these days I need a "normal" laptop).
