1366 x 768 on a >$800 laptop is laughable, hence why the macbook air is an awful choice.
Oyi, the like to dislike ratio tho.
0:24 “A good laptop is easily affordable” 0:43 says the 13″ macbook air is the answer.1:17 “The macbook air isn’t cheap”.…
STFU!!
Yes but I’m poor and don’t like Apple software. Any recommendations?
clueless isheep
Can’t play games deal breaker. I would only use Apple for menial tasks, like browsing, but the PC can still play games even it has to be the lowest setting.
If you wanna do cad work or fluidsim dont get a macbook 😊
guys we need a 2016 edition!!
KUNG FURYYYY !! (1:33)
Macs suck
How much did Apple pay you to make this?? Its like one big ad.
I like my surface pro 4
Apple probably only pays $50 to have those things made >.>
Can you guys do another video about this, for 2016?
The Macbook is great if you want many restrictions on programs and downloads.
I love your voice
change the title to : best ultrabook…cause that’s the category you are showcasing…and guessed it it’s gonna be the mac .typical the verge
Honestly, I believe the Air is overrated!
No, I’m not hating on it, Apple fans. When you think about it, the Air is pretty solid. The macOS layout is easy, simple, and user-friendly to use. Windows 10 is like that too, but it also combines the positive aspects of it’s last two predecessors into a amazing OS. Well, except for the privacy thing so Windows is always spying on you.
The color is “well-chosen” because Apple knows that people like flashy and shiny things. All people like the color of metal. All people like silver. So, Apple took advantage of it! When you see an opportunity, you grab at it like a lifeline! Apple grabbed onto the opportunity!
There are also silver Windows laptops, which can also catch your eye. Asus and other manufacturers grab onto opportunity like Apple. I think it’s okay if one manufacturer borrows an idea from another manufacturer, but actually stealing the idea is terrible and should not be tolerated!
The display could use some work, though. It’s been the same for a long time, and Apple should really change that. However, the aspect ratio (16:10) is perfectly fine and should NOT be changed. 16:9 ratios are fine by me, but I wish I could have a squarer screen. Apple leaped at another opportunity once again.
I think the keyboard is pretty good for typing and normal use. I would prefer sculpted, concave keys like the ones found on Thinkpads, but Apple is Apple and they can do whatever the hell they want. Nice amount of travel, backlit keyboard, the norm of a premium laptop. This also applies to the Dell XPS 13’s keyboard except for the “they can do whatever the hell they want” part.
The trackpad on the Dell XPS 13 and the Air are both made of glass. I’ve heard that it’s slick and people like it. Honestly, I’ve never tried one as my trackpad is made of plastic (I have a Thinkpad Yoga 460 from Best Buy).
The problem isn’t that the Air is a bad laptop. In most cases, it’s pretty good. Some people want a laptop that works and does the job well. The Air accomplishes that, as with the XPS 13. It’s just that the Air is overrated.
Because when you think about it, the two laptops are really similar.
can you do a 2016 version please?
Or get yourself a Lenovo ThinkPad and see how it feels to have a productivity laptop.
For all the haters out there, please find me a laptop which has a keyboard as good as the air(Seriously find one), a trackpad as good as the air and the portability and design as good as the air. And last of all has 12 hours of battery life!. Then we’ll talk.
Do the best laptop you can buy (2016)
what about the asus ultrabook ux510-4k display i7 16 gb ram, 512 ssd, touchscreen, and same price tag as xps 13 9350
Why does this channel feel so bias in most of their videos?
can you make a 2016 update for this?
can anyone tell me the best portable good resolution laptop for light editing
Toshiba chromebook
bullshit
I just hope macbook air does not win in 2016.
Do you recommend Macbook air for college (Computer Engineering)?
Mac?! I am gonna puke.
making this video in 2017 is the most daunting task.….
OSX > Windows. It’s not just about hardware guys. Mac users, especially ones that build their own gaming rigs, buy the Macs because they know how the operating system is many time better and easier to use than Windows.
Got my MacBook Air for $799 with Best Buy sale ^_^. had a MacBook before that and I have a self built gaming rig with Windows 10.
People who really use their computer like a tool and have used Mac OS know the OS is FAAAAAR better than Windows.
like the video resolution
“good all around” macbook air me: no no its just a bad deal I can find a laptop that has the same specs and can run games gud for half the price
can we get a 2017 version of this please????
is MacBook air better for programming than other windows laptops?
maboook air fffmmmWAHAHAHA ITS DEAD NOW
please make a video for 2017 best laptop to buy
Hi Verge,I am a big fan,a university student in Kenya,I can’t afford a laptop though I would really love your recommended one,macbook air 13″,can I please get one,please?
Need this series every year 🤗
We use a laptop normally for a year and a half and then we have to buy new one because technology changes fast. Why spend so much money on a mac when you can buy a good windows machine in half the price. After all we are not marrying it.
Macbook air..the most overrated machine of all time
6 years later, its still the MacBook Air
