I'm guessing apple got some issue with public wifi like the phone does which it takes a while to connect to it, like 5 minutes.

Guessing that's the same issue here, wifi is terrible, stupid gestures and I don't understand them and have a hard time figuring out how to remove programs.

Thing doesn't hold connection at all, constantly stops working, I had it fixed and it came back with the same issue so it's software based and I'm sure apple doesn't even want people in public wifi.

Sorry but this thing is very overrated, the gesture crap, the time machine, it's just a stupid machine that doesn't get hot and stays cool, nice keyboard but the os sucks and the gestures are trash.

Integration is nice for certain but apple being so extra scared to get sued is getting tiresome.

Software is the problem with these macs.
 
Ouch. If you're new to MacOS there is a transition that you need to go through. But not all OSs are for everyone. I'm sure I'd feel the same way if I was making a move to Linux, and my first few weeks on MacOS (OS X back then) were a little frustrating. Ironically, removing programs was one thing I struggled with too. (Couldn't possibly be as easy as dragging to the Trash, right?)

I'd ask AI for a crash course on gestures and Time Machine. I'm not big on gestures but Time Machine has saved my bacon before.

Wifi is solid on all the MacBook Air models in my experience.
 
Hard to follow this general rant. If you slow down and post about each individual issue you're having instead of crashing out, people here are usually willing to help.
