Just placed my order for the 2019 Air after filling out the paperwork to trade in my 2017 MacBook.

Happy to move on.

Heavier, me thinks!

A very sad day for Mac consumer laptops. One of the best Mac laptop designs ever gets killed in favor of the so-called “Air,” which belies all its bs marketing as a lightweight wonder with a weight that’s just 4 ounces less than a MacBook Pro. 

Well said!

The article states that this may have been a person’s first laptop, but for me the 2015 Macbook was my LAST laptop. Ever since my first laptop- the Zeos Contenda sub-notebook pioneer in the early 90s -  I’ve looked for smaller and lighter going to the magnesium Toshiba Portege 2000 among others until this 12” marvel arrived and has been the best for me til now and for the next few years, I hope. 

Good thoughts!

I'm sad.

I remember my first iBook, white, with that beautiful, inviting blue background. And the Dock that got bigger w/ a cursor over. People would come up to me just to look at it!

I then bought the first intel white MacBook for $1,300. (I think I had  $1,100 to my name!)



My 2017 RoseGold MacBook is the quintessential Apple product. Light (I'm thinking 'mobile!' Hello!), Thin, and elegant.

I'm not ashamed to say, I adore it. 

I was hoping Apple would continue the MacBook with edge-to-edge screen, TouchID and a larger trackpad. But honestly, I don't need all that.

This, most likely, will be my last MacOS device.

I guess, when this MacBook falters, I'll go all in on iOS. Sort of.

I already have an iPad mini (which I only use when traveling), a rose gold SE (b/c it has to match the MacBook, and is small, light and mobile, Hello!), an AppleTV and a Series 0 Apple Watch (for everyday wear and running!) Oh, and first gen. AirPods. (BTW: AppleWatch and AirPods are Apple's replacement for the iPod!)

I'm thinking my next big Apple purchase will be a new Apple Watch, so I can leave my iPhone in the car, or better yet at home!

Ugh! I'm sad.

Compared to my SE, iPhones are now too big and heavy! Compared to my 2017 RoseGold MacBook, the new Airs and Pros are too heavy!

Really? People actually use Google data mining products? Oh well.
