    Personally I wouldn’t call the MacBook air good value for money. It’s not a bad computer but it’s very expensive for the specs you get. You’re basically paying for it to be very thin and really it’s no more portable than the normal MacBook because when you think about it obviously it isn’t because if the MacBook wasn’t portable it would be a mini desktop.

      Well the MBA has some standout features:

      • build quality, it really is well made
      • trackpad (all apple laptops)
      • fanless, this is underrated for some people
      • runs macOS
      • battery life
      • powerful enough for nearly anything south of long 4k renders or LLMs etc.

      Honestly, oranges to oranges, I consider the Air as competing with more expensive business class laptops with more ports and bigger numbers, but worse end user experience.
