Absolutely in love with my new 15 inch MBA in Silver! Previously I bought a 14 inch MBP in Space Grey last year, used it for two days and then proceeded to pack it up to collect dust for a whole year until recently when I found a buyer willing to pay my high price for it (resale value was about the only thing it was good for). It simply felt too bulky, heavy, and the screen was too small for all the reading I do for class. I went right back to my Zenbook and used it happily for the last year.
Fast forward to this new MBA and all I can say is wow! What an amazing hardware offering. This screen is brilliant, I notice zero difference between it and the MBP screen. Next is the speakers, tons of bass! I love how much sound this thin work of art produces while maintaining a clean look with no speaker grills. Its like all this sound comes out of absolutely nowhere. Where to next? Ah yes, the lack of any fans, what a godsend to have peace and quiet and no sharp aluminum chop your fingers off vent slots.
Moving on now to the thinness of the device, what a game changer. The Zenbook that I have used for the past few years felt like a supremely thin work of art when I purchased it. A really great hardware offering for the time, with no vents on the sides allowing for lying the laptop on its side without it over heating and with the same lack of speaker grills (though it had much worse sound quality than the MBA). All that considered this new MBA blows it out of the water with its thinness. It seems as though its whole body thickness is half the thinness of my Zenbook, which was already a supremely thin laptop. This MBA also features a much more solid build, less flimsy while being thinner.... its quite mad if I do say so myself, the device that is thinner is also way more robust and solid, its nuts!
It has its quirks (turning on whenever you open it, IO) but it is really damn near perfect, and a breath of fresh air. I can finally switch to Mac and feel confident about it.
To anyone else coming from PC to the 15 inch MBA or anyone upgrading to a 15 inch MBA in general, feel free to share your positive experiences here!
