I traded in three aging MacBooks today, after spending a good part of Sunday wiping the hard drives of my 2012 Mac Book Pro, a 2013 Mac Book Air and my workhorse and faithful travel companion, the 2015 Mac Book. In many ways the 2015 is a collectors item, but having had two battery replacements and an aging processor, I decided to buy the new Mac Book Air, fully loaded.
With the trade ins I'm paying less than the price of the entry level Mac Book Air and getting a new Mac that is actually for me, better than the current (last year's model) Mac Book Pro.'
So what's it been like yesterday and today with no Mac Book to work on, and only my new Samsung Galaxy Chromebook to use? Not much difference. I kinda get the same feeling I get when I "cheat" on my iPhone and use the Android based One Plus 7t Pro McLaren I have. That feeling is, sorta like, there's not much difference but I do miss iMessage.
Beyond the lack of iMessage and FaceTime, working on the Chromebook, before it was a Pixelbook, has been a rather regular thing, but I always had the Mac Book to fire up. All this said, the new Mac Book Air arrives this week, but with so much of what I've been doing the past 12 years or so resting in the cloud, I'm far better off than someone who has been so dependent on their PC and can't live without it.
