Scratch her eyes out DD!

In fairness though, isn’t the Air built around being ultra-light, thin and not having loads of bumpf to weigh them down? Seems a bit churlish and just looking for any excuse to slag it off because of the stuff it doesn’t have, because it’s not supposed to in the first place.

So I bought about the fastest laptop available 18 months ago-ish (MacBook Pro pre i5/7) and yes, the new Air would beat it in many areas.

But the new air is also slow because there’s a faster MacBook Pro out now?!!!

it’s nuts

also, how many usbs do people need?

14.

Ah, looks like I can’t use it on the plane after all 🙁

From the spec sheet:

Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet
Maximum storage altitude: 15,000 feet

Hmmmm 🙄

Won’t the altitude figures be based on air pressure? On a plane you should be fine.

if you’re wing walking / browsing, you’re screwed. Inside the plane you’ll be fine.

Yeah, I had guessed that – just thought it quite amusing. However, I’m fairly sure if it were to break whilst I was on a plane, Apple would probably point to the spec sheet ant tell me I wasn’t covered…

Good for you. Anything else you’d care to add?

Not anymore, I shall take my additional comments to the grave.

Take your common sense and get out, you’re not wanted here

So, as a lifelong Windows user, what am I likely to find most difficult

Contextual menus in things like Finder are IMO shockingly limited.

Having to learn a whole load of keyboard shortcuts.

and what will I like?

Everything looks pretty and shiny.

IMO, if I was a gadget, I’d shack up with W7 and start a family but I’d like a bit of foxy OSX on the side once in a while.

As a recent convert to osx (albeit a mbp rather than air) you will be fine swapping over, presuming all the software you use is available on the os. I use Paralells a bit too just for a few programs and testing.

Best thing I did was upping the ram to 8gig and having a solid state drive. Ultra responsive.
