Jason Snell, writing for MacWorld:
As much as I love my M1 MacBook Air, I would drop it in a heartbeat for a 12-inch model that looked like the Retina MacBook. There’s room in the Mac laptop line for a smaller, lighter MacBook. I promise it won’t take up very much space.
Years ago, I recommended a MacBook to a former coworker who found the 11″ Air’s (non-Retina) display hard on the eyes, and I myself was lucky enough to use one for four years through my employer. Its criticisms–the Intel M3 was slow, and the butterfly keyboard was, at the very least, worse than the keyboard that preceded it, and at the worst, broken–is true, but the size was simply amazing. I would pinch it between two fingers when walking to meetings.
