I’ve just switched to new MacBook Air (after feeling the same way for the past few years).

Use case is typical Rails dev work, react front end, databases, docker etc.

I was worried going from a 12 core Mac Pro, to the dual core MBA, but so far I haven’t noticed any difference except for those things that are faster now.

The keyboard isn’t as good as the 2015 MBP, but is far better than the previous butterfly. I don’t mind typing on it at all.

Great battery life too.

I think the new MBA might actually be the first decent apple laptop for devs in a few years.

I thought the new MacBook Air had the older butterfly keyboard?

Nope, it’s got the latest 3rd gen one, same as the Pro. You’re thinking of the MacBook which is stuck on gen1.
