The _feel_ is very different though, even if the dimensions aren’t numerically. It was around half a cm at its thinnest, it was 250g lighter, and 23mm less deep.
replyI think at those sizes, what reads as small differences give an outsized experiential factor.
I loved mine but I'd be lying if I said it gave me three years of acceptable performance.
replySure, I can blame Chrome and JS, but ultimately, the core 2 duo and 8GB RAM did not keep up very long.
There was an 11” air with an i5/i7 - i splurged for 16gb of ram when i bought it in 2015 and it lasted me 10 years.
replyIt still works, but a few specific apps started to really drag on it.
It really pays longevity wise to get max ram!
replySure, but the 11" MBA I bought was max specs at the time it was released and the point is: it didn't last long.
replyI guess, but that kinda means I would've needed to improve my 11" MBA's longevity by buying another, more recent, 11" MBA though. :)
