I just picked one up a little while ago. The keyboard is easily the best in the 2016+ range, but the 10W thermal capacity is really a disappointment. It's barely faster than the "MacBook" and often dips down into the 3-4W range on CPU when loaded. I see DRAM often taking up 3W on its own.

Too bad it's so anemic.

Yeah it's a shame they watered down the Air's capabilities. I got a 2012 13" air as a second laptop to travel with, and it quickly replaced my pro as a daily driver since it was powerful enough, and so comfortable to use.

I wonder how the Air would compare to an iPad pro in benchmarks.
