It was nice, but the screen bezel was huge. The latest 13 is about the same size and weight.

The _feel_ is very different though, even if the dimensions aren’t numerically. It was around half a cm at its thinnest, it was 250g lighter, and 23mm less deep.

I think at those sizes, what reads as small differences give an outsized experiential factor.

I loved mine but I'd be lying if I said it gave me three years of acceptable performance.

Sure, I can blame Chrome and JS, but ultimately, the core 2 duo and 8GB RAM did not keep up very long.

  • There was an 11” air with an i5/i7 - i splurged for 16gb of ram when i bought it in 2015 and it lasted me 10 years.

    It still works, but a few specific apps started to really drag on it.
