The heat this thing throws off is supposed to be ridiculous. Poor design on the heatpipes. Good luck maintaining the turbo boost more than a few minutes.

I believe what he is referring to is the fact that Apple, contrary to the designs of all modern laptops (in which a CPU is cooled via a heatpipe going to a heatsink on the back/side of the laptop with a fan blowing air through said heatsink) and instead has a heatsink on the CPU itself without a heatpipe connecting to the fan, so the fan is essentially just moving air arbitrarily throughout the inside of the chassis.

While I do think that the Air is a decent general purpose all around computer, I also agree that it is not really meant for more CPU intensive tasks.

wait for Macbook coming out next year. Supposed to be ARM processor so a lot more efficient. Also cheaper probably if they do that.

900 bucks for an i3 with 8gb.

Only buy this if you want to do basic web browsing and productivity stuff.

I know it's what people say all the time but with apple silicon right around the corner, it may be a good idea to wait (provided you don't need something right now).
