Macbook Air
Please be aware that back in 2015 we do did not recommend the Macbook Air as a primary laptop machine due to its historically reported weak WiFi performance and limited number of ports. It iswas, however, an acceptable second laptop for travel as long as the user understands its limitations and potential connectivity drawbacks. We have had also received a significant number of reports for the MacBook Air being unable to connect to the WiFi network at Hethrow Airport outside of London for example. For the light weight primary Apple laptop solution, we continue to recommend the current 13" Macbook Pro with Retina Display. At 1 pound heavier than the MacBook Air it has the performance, flexibility, and functionality of a full blown laptop. But if you choose to order one of these, In 2019, the new MacBook Air is a considerably more powerful and flexible machine than it was in 2015. Be aware of its limits and pay attention to the hard drive size as Apple is selling these with the smaller capacity solid state drives. Make sure you get a hard drive with enough storage to fit all your data from your old laptop.
