Hi Les, Thanks for your kind words. Re my experience, yeah, the first MBA was just weird, and I still don’t know what to make of that. That said, much of my time and frustration this week could have been saved if I’d thought to check do not disturb sooner. It was one of those tsituations where, since I never use it, it didn’t dawn on me that it could be the problem. Re the other issue, now that I know where the Accessibility options are, it makes sense, but at the outset it’s confusing, because you have both the login options under users, and the Login Items tab. Now that all is working, I am very happy with my purchase.
Anyway, to answer your question. I chose the Air because I wanted a lighter machine, though the difference between the Air and the Pro isn’t as significant as it used to be. Cost was also a factor. But probably the biggest reason I chose the Air was because I wanted function keys instead of a touch bar.
