22 Comments on Five reasons not to buy a MacBook Air

  1. So rather than be ‘5 reasons not to buy a MacBook Air’, it was ‘5 reasons
    to buy a Retina MacBook Pro’ instead, which may not suit people based on
    what they need, and costs an extra £100 at least.
    I have the June 2013 MacBook Air and it’s brilliant.

    • Also they talk about ‘restricted upgrade options’, when you can’t upgrade
      the specs of the rMBP either :/

    • If all you need to do is browse the internet, listen to music and maybe
      type word documents then it’d be fine. If you do engineering or something
      that’s likely to require quite heavy modelling or design software, the Pro
      might handle that better. Whatever you go for, get 8GB of RAM at least
      because I went with 4 and it fills up in an instant.

  2. All the advantages cost lots of money. Did you see the costs on the macbook
    retina upgrades? And by the way, I don’t think you can upgrade the MacBook
    Pro retina if it is newer then the 2012 model 

  3. To be honest the MacBook Air is great. Sure it does not have 16 gb of ram
    and 1tb of data. But you can get 1 terabyte externally. And plus who needs
    that amount of storage cause that’s 1024 gb. Like seriously. Who needs
    Ethernet ports when u have wireless internet now? It’s like this video
    misguided people. What I mean is buy telling them that they should spend
    250$ extra and stuff you necessarily do not need. Like retina MacBook Pro
    is about $2000! When you can buy a decent computer that is capable of many
    things for under $1000. Honestly guys it is a no brainier. Now if you were
    a video game designer or movie producer than the MacBook Pro retina display
    is perfect. But if you are going to browse the web, use it for college,
    school staff or faculty, maybe playing games occasionally like minecraft or
    games on steam that support Mac then do not buy the MacBook Pro retina. The
    MacBook Air can support that all. You don’t need to buy a $2000 computer
    for things like that. I hate when people on YouTube like these people who
    made this video misguide people and being bias towards the other opponent.
    Like a lot of the things like Ethernet you don’t need we don’t live in the
    90’s no more. Get your guys facts straight. And to all the people reading
    this and don’t know hick one to buy and looked at the things that I said to
    use it for then buy what you think is best. Honestly I don’t hate the
    MacBook Pro retina display its just crazily overpriced when u can get a WAY
    LESS EXPENSIVE computer capable of doing the things you need.

    • +Justin Birtha It’s actually $1400 and $1300 with a student discount, not
      $2000 for the macbook pro retina display.

  4. Why would you contrast a Macbook Air with a MacBook Pro?
    That’s like comparing a sedan and a pick-up! They’re two entirely different
    products for entirely different types of users.
    Thank you for wasting my time you damned trolls!
