A recent visit to the Apple Store helped me get more insights about the iPad Pro and the MacBook Air.
#RABB.IT APP FOR MAC MAC#
Just a few weeks ago, I was leaning toward the 12.9” 2021 iPad Pro to become a second screen to my M1 Mac mini and my photo processing tablet. My experiment with the MacBook Air prompted me to reconsider my upcoming Apple purchases plan (see my Digital Garden). I wish these surveys are a sign of Apple reconsidering the 12” MacBook in their future products plans. If Apple had to re-launch a 12” MacBook or a smaller M1 MacBook Air, I would be tempted to take the plunge, and this guy would be so happy. I wouldn’t consider the 13” version, which, I think, is too big 11” is a perfect size. If I were to keep the machine for myself, it would be for writing and crafting (using the excellent Craft application) only - nothing related to photography stuff or demanding workloads, just for handling my writing sessions. Sure, this MacBook Air won’t support many of the recent technologies introduced by Apple, yet it can run Big Sur without too much pain, thanks to its 8 GB of RAM. Two devices, two experiences Not everything is perfect Compared to the M1 Mac for comparison, this 2013 machine offers good battery life which should be enough considering the type of work this machine will be used for. I love the iPad for what it is, but this MacBook Air running macOS is hard to beat 4.įor such an old Intel-based machine, battery life is great.

On the software side, macOS is, well, a fully extraverted, well assumed, modern, mature and flexible operating system. The iPad Magic Keyboard, while I love it, doesn’t feel as good and is quite smaller. On the hardware side, the keyboard is a real one, not a diminutive version in any way. Both of these devices are highly portable, but the MacBook Air has a clear advantage on two fronts. I understand those easy and tempting comparisons between a MacBook Air and the iPad Pro.
Both share hard-to-tell attributes combination that makes using these devices a joyful experience. I could say the same about my 11” iPad Pro. There is something special about using the MacBook Air. The size of the device may have something to do with this strange behaviour. It’s funny that, on many occasions, I even instinctively tried to touch the screen to position the text cursor, or scroll a web page in Safari, something I’ve never done with my MacBook Pro. This is the closest this MacBook can be to the iPad experience. Speaking of the screen, because of its size, most of the time, I was using apps in full-screen mode. Text on the non-Retina display of this old MacBook Air looks fuzzy The only thing that I dislike: the screen resolution. I love everything about it: its size and weight, it’s operating silently 3, the full-size keyboard, battery life is excellent, MagSafe is still a clever idea and the glowing Apple logo on the back of the screen, while being a nice design touch, is a reminder of a MacBook glorious and special era. Yet, after using this “old” 2013 11” MacBook Air for a few weeks, now I understand why: It’s a mighty device. I never quite understood why people would choose such a small device compared to bigger siblings.

I never owned a MacBook Air before, even though It’s the most successful Mac portable ever. Besides the Retina display and the touch bar, there is nothing special about this Mac. When I’m not working from home, I bring my work-provided 2017 15” MacBook Pro with the dreaded butterfly keyboard at the office. My story with Apple’s MacBook, in general, is pretty slim 2. After getting my hands on it, I started to play with it then something unexpected happened 1. Presumably, the MacBook Air was fully capable of replacing my son’s Chromebook, as the specs are much higher: more RAM coupled with a fast SSD.
Without knowing it, I was entering a rabbit hole.
#RABB.IT APP FOR MAC UPGRADE#
When I started thinking about what could be the best upgrade path for him, I remembered that my wife’s daughter was no longer using her 2013 11” MacBook Air - I thought it was a great opportunity to consider this MacBook Air for my son’s next computer. Against all odds, he kept using his Chromebook for as long as he could, but he recently asked me if I could do something about it. Those deficiencies were particularly obvious during the first few months of the 2020 confinement. Clearly, It’s not the best device to do video conferencing and using Google Docs is limiting. My 21 years old son was using a 2019 Chromebook for school and wasn’t happy with it. The MacBook Air provides a delightful writing experience
