#macbookair11 — Public Fediverse posts

I am really getting the most out of the Macbook Air 11" I bought used about a month ago, for under $200. It is actually becoming my primary writing / research / focus device, which is exactly what I hoped it would be.

Having full access to my MacOS ecosystem (icloud storage, calendar, email, personal photos, etc) is a boon I couldn't make use of on a Chrome OS device. The keyboard's fantastic, trackpad ditto, and the 4-5hr I get out of the battery (375 cycles) is good enough for how I want to use this device. The 8gb memory has really helped (do not buy a 4gb model).

Of course, the MBA 15" M2 is where I do my heavy lifting, and if anything, the keyboard is even better, but having this little 1kg device as a focus device is money very well spent.

Man... do I like this Macbook Air 11. Probably the best $185 I've spent in some time. Considering it was nearly $1800 taxes in just six+ years ago...

Keyboard's a bit sticky, and I found evidence of cola / coffee spill (wedged off a few keys to clean them), but now that I have Sonoma on it, it's quite nice. Typing (except the few sticky keys) is excellent. Screen takes some getting used to. Will fix rest of the keys tomorrow.

And its SO TINY!!!
