Macbook air 11vvs cheap windows netbook?
Is the macbook air worth the premium when some of these netbooks are only a fifth the cost?

May as well get the netbook, it'll be faster.

As a mac user that likes my current mac and bought it because it was better than everything else
Every single mac currently out, except for the desktop model, is a bad buy because most havent been updated in years, and the ones that have are completely gimped.

Didn't think netbooks existed these days.
>>56913010
you're retarded. apple has refreshed all three lines of it's macbooks every fucking year. they've been the FIRST to release the new intel chips in most of those years.

Fuck off mactard.

Also, current max user here.
The only laptop I'd consider buying these days would be one of Xiaomi's. Current Macs are trash, but I wouldn't trust anything made mostly of plastic these days.

>all netbooks use atoms
Wut. Also z3735f is great for normie student shit, which is what I bought mine for.
>pcie ssd
Why does this matter? So your laptop boots up in 10 seconds instead of 11? Good for you.
>12 hours battery life
So does my t100ta, plus it charges with micro USB so I can plug it into my power bank.
>glass trackpad
Use a touchscreen, it's much better.
>plastic shit nowhere in site
Must be hiding behind those massive bezels

Are you fucking daft?

Why don't you make your own decision OP? If you like the feel of the Macbook Air go ahead and buy one. The MagSafe charger is a pretty neat feature and you can easily install whatever OS you feel most comfortable with on it.

>windows
no, never
unless you NEED windows don't use it on a mac.
It takes everything nice about them (good battery, nice trackpad, runs cool) and makes them god awful.

That's only the 15" macbook pros with dedicated graphics that have this issue.
The airs, and the pros with only igpu will run hot under load, but wont throttle.

i mean they haven't released anything so far in 2016, and the 2015 was an abortion even in 2015 when it came out.
