💔 īut seriously, THE TOUCH BAR IS GONE! 🥂🎉🍾🥳🍻 OPEN BAR! DRINKS ON ME! I can’t wait for summer when the weather is hot, but the MBAir’s not. It won’t heat the tops of your thighs like that INTEL log on the fire. If you live in a cold climate, this may disappoint.

There IS no freaking fan in the thing! And it sits cold on my lap as I bang away on the keyboard each morning waiting for coffee to jumpstart my brain. Oh, and that fan sound when Chrome heats up and starts churning? I snoozes when I forget about it and in about 8 weeks of daily use (some days more than others)? I think it may have only given me the low battery reminder 3 times? The M1 MBAir is rated “up to 15 hours” and honestly, I really don’t need to charge it throughout the day. That’s fine, lots of browser tabs, but otherwise no heavy lifting.


The aforementioned mid-2020 MBP is rated “up to 10 hours battery life.” Bah! I’m sure I never got even 5. This is the very first Mac laptop that I never, ever worry about keeping charged!įor decades, I’ve read the MPG battery ratings on MBPs and just rolled my eyes. And I sold my mid-2020 MBP to pay for it and still made about $200 over the cost of the MBAir. My BTO M1 MBAir with 16GB RAM and a 1TB hard drive is the very first for me. I have never wanted to own a “low end” Mac laptop since the 90s when I got my first Mac portable for travel.
