Not to be pedantic, but I want to offer one small correction. The 11-inch Air start5s with 4GB of ram, whereas the 12-inch Macbook starts with 8GB. Internal drive space is 128GB to start on the Air, and 256GB on the Retina Macbook. Yes, the keyboard is awkward (though I didn't use it enough to know if I'd get used to it) and the processor is less powerful. To say that the Air has more memory, though, is incorrect. Sure, you could bump up the specs in your Air and wind up with a better machine, but you'll also pay more. I'm not recommending the Retina Macbook at this point either, but I want to be sure people know what models have what. > On Apr 29, 2016, at 21:22, Simon Fogarty <si...@blinky-net.com> wrote: > > Yeah it's a nice device, > > So long as you don't want to do a lot of power useage, it's a good machine. > > Starting at a 1.1GHz processor and that being a mobile processor it's not > powerfull but works fine for everyday web surfing and word processing > > I didn't really try it for along time as I found it at least for me it had > one major issue and that is the keyboard sucks the big one. > > The keys are flat and there is next to no definition between the keys like in > the mac book air or pro however the keyboard is like that to save space and > make a thiner / lighter machine in total > > As for the USB C connector, so long as you have adapters to connect things > your fine otherwise your limited to saving to a small drive space and wifi > connectivity > > And its over priced. > > The mac book air is a more powerfull processor, same amount of ram and HDD or > SSD storage depending on what you buy and it is a cheaper product but to me a > better product, unless they really change the next air I'll go on with that > otherwise I'll go MBPro for power however I'd rather have the 11 inch air for > size. > > Hope that helps.. > > -----Original Message----- > From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sarai Bucciarelli > Sent: Saturday, 30 April 2016 1:54 AM > To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > Subject: the new Macbook > > Hi: > Has anyone tried the new Macbook 12 inch?
