Didn’t get time to set it up properly yet so can’t really say but loving the Retina display so far and hating the butterfly keyboard for lack of travel.

Could you post SSD benchmark results? I’m about to order same configuration.

I've already watched that review. I'm looking for the results of 512GB not the 128 and 256.

Another member posted somewhere his results for the 512gb were:

Write - 1996.6
Read - 2164.0

I ordered one yesterday so can verify when it arrives.

That sounds like 30% faster than the 256 GB?

Edit: 256 GB on this model looks like 1662(r)/1222(w) according to this video.

The MBA with a slower processor, slower iGPU and lack of P3 gamut but longer lasting battery. The laptop imo, is geared for the road warrior who needs better battery over performance.
they are almost the same
MBA should ge gone!
Only MBP
 
Can anyone tell me how long it takes to change from "preparing to ship" too "shipped' ?

IMO I'd honestly get the MBP. I really don't see much difference in thinness. The air is thinner towards you but gets thicker as you go towards the back. If you need more battery life, get a 45W power delivery battery bank and hook it up to your laptop.

This pretty much
