Hi guys, have been scouring for new laptop laptop lately, and neede an ultraportable with battery that last. At first i found some windows laptop but meh, if u need battery life they are very expensive, considering dell xps is 4,999. Ux305 is only core M for 10 hr life, cheap thou. Then i found out MBA dropped price due to exchange rate lately, and decided to look into it. But found out that there are a lot of reviews that say the MBa display is poor, is it true? I do some very lloght photo editing, mostly using for light gaming like maplestory or web browser game, and a lot of web surfing and word processing, will the screen do the job? Well currently im using some budget acer laptop with only hd display.
Also one quick question, can a mac connect to hp printers and mouse generally used on windows laptop? And i've read on apple website that 'pages' ( mac word app) can open and edit microsoft word documents, is this true? And thus can the post-edit doc be opened by windows laptop?
I really have much to consider before buying it since my uni disteibute stuffs in windows form and i like the battery life of MBA 😂
I have a mbpr 13" 2015. Idk about mba battery life but from my friends' exp they said it lasted very long. About the display,i think HD is already enough considering the battery life u will get.Light photo edit maybe ok.

About apple electronics connecting with non-apple devices, it works fine. my mbps works perfectly with my 2009 pixma canon printer. No hassle/driver problem etc. On general mouses it will work fine, but dunno about gaming mouses with super extra sensitivity.
On word processing, yes no problem. You can work with .docx / .doc files seamlessly with Pages. Plus,you can export your .pages docs into .docx/.doc too.
Only one thing la, most external hdd is formatted into NTFS(windows only) and OS X can't write(or paste something) on it but can sure read.
Instead you need to either format your ext hdd into fat32 or use a third party app to enable write to NTFS hdd(i use Paragon NTFS, much easier).
Better if you partition your ext hdd into HFS+(for Time Machine backups) and another NTFS with use for c&p files and use 3rd party apps like Paragon.
