So any apple historian would say 1st gen product is going to be the worst. I guess this time is no different.
Why would MBA age the best? My reasoning is that given Air's position in the market, apple has no need to offer any major upgrade in short-term (6 month - 1 year).
- Performance. It is already very good. With the fanless thermal design, one would need a chip process node upgrade to achieve another performance breakthrough? Takes at least 1 year?
- Ports. Air always had 2 ports or less? Support for eGPU could in theory be added back but this is just a niche feature anyway.
- Camera. 1080p is going to happen sooner or later; does not make machines with 720p obsolete though.
- Storage. A storage bump would be really nice but I don't see it happen within a year.
