I literally just got on the bus after buying my first Mac. I went with the 2015 Macbook Air 11" with Broadwell and 4GB RAM. I might run out of storage with the 128GB SSD onboard but at this point I don't even care. Im going to use it for work online, and will try to learn coding for iOS and Android.
If your main requirements for a laptop include utmost portability, long battery life, and overall usability is there anything better than a Macbook Air?
There isn't. That is why I bought one after having been a Window user my whole life (I'm 28 now).
Id like to hear /g/'s thoughts.
ya dun goofd. 4gb or ram is gonna be a shit if you ever want to use a simulator.

You double nigger.
The air is great but you should have gotten the retina MacBook instead.

Rumors say september, so 2 months or so.
Love apple products and their operating system. What most Linux users don't understand is the best part about having a good OS is really just the experience. Turning it on, having everything consistent, easy learning curve.
Apple is popular for a reason. Most people just want a computer they can plug in and will work well. I would argue also in terms of hardware there are no laptops that even come close to macbooks.
I'm learning some accounting and in terms of depreciation macbooks are facisnating. Often laptops depreciate at a high rate the first year they are purchased. You can resell a five year old macbook for a good value. You need to take that into account when you buy one because you can sell it back and upgrade later. Apple is popular for a reason.
Honestly, I'm done waiting for Apple to release new Airs or MBPs. They dropped the ball twice already with March and June.
