Please read this before thinking of purchasing this laptop or any other apple Mac laptop.
1. This apple laptop is the most basic of all of its laptops.
2. The line goes like Macbook Air, Macbook Pro, Macbook Pro with retina display and touch bar.
3. So now coming to this product. This is the Macbook Air. This product was launched some where in 2007. Since then it is been regularly updated.
4. The last update of Macbook Air was in 2015. It's processor was updated to 1.6 GHz
5. Recently the same Macbook Pro was again updated to a new speed of 1.8 GHz this is more of a refresh rather than a machine update.
6. Today processor speeds of 1.8 GHz are mediocre. You can buy any laptop around 60k and you will easily get much better speeds.
7. It is a rumour that the current set of Macbook Air laptops might be discontinued by apple after this upgrade.
8. So as you can see. This ultra book is not meant for programmers, gamers and performance freaks.
9. Please remember that this machine has been one of the most successful machines of apple over the last decade or so.
10. Hence if you are a normal computer user who aspires to surf net, watch youtube videos, listen to peaceful music, light editing, use apps to take notes and other basic tasks then this machine can be excellent.
11. I can assure you that this app will not lag in basic tasks.
12. It has a battery life of 9 hour plus if used judiciously. Which is it's fundamental strength.
13. I have an hp product which I got for 85k in Oct 2016. It is no where near this Mac in overall performance. As I have to charge it over and over again. Trust me battery life matters alot.
14. So my advice to prospective buyers is that if you want a solid laptop which would stay with you even while you are travelling. If you want a crisp handy laptop with an excellent built quality close your eyes and go for this.
15. Apple support is excellent. If you still want a more powerful laptop go for Macbook Pro.
My last submission is that Apple Macbook Air is still relevant in 2017. Coming for a decently aware apple admirer. Thanks!
