I had one, and I really liked it, but the 13" MBA just edged it out for me due to the added comfort and visibility. I've had various MBPs, but I continue to prefer a 13" MBA over a decade later. Any other laptop I try just feels inferior.

The bezel size on the 2011 11" air vs the current 13" air with its Retina display makes that upgrade a no-brainer. 2011 11" was my prior fav, but 2024 13" air is the new king.

I recently spent 2 hours working on an airplane in economy class on a 16" pro, and all those extra specs didn't help me ssh to a cloud instance, and that large size made it extra tough. Air is the best.

The new 13” Air isn’t quite a replacement for the old 11”. It’s just enough bigger and heavier that I notice and it affects the handiness of it. The center of balance isn’t as good either, it was close to the hinge on the old wedge shaped Air which was perfect for carrying it.

I miss that little computer. It was just about perfect and I wish they had kept that form factor.
