absolutely nothing, I repeat nothing, that the MacBook does better than the MacBook Air, after today's updates...

There's plenty.

• 0.92 kg vs. 1.25 kg
• 281x197 mm vs. 304x 212 mm

I was going to buy a hypothetical updated MacBook. Now I ended up comparing the three $1200 12-13" laptops Apple offers and decided not to buy a new one.

I have bought a refurbished MacBook Air 2017 and i think a good bargain and a great notebook.
I fully satisfied ...

Good to hear the one I got has 16 cycles on the battery. I may try again and see how things go.

The MacBook Air 2017 is a good bargain for sure. I bought one last summer on a discount at B&H and I really appreciate how much more solid it feels compared to the latest models. And the keyboard is heaven compared to the inferior butterfly KBs on most models. I hope Apple can keep offering this model for a while longer.
