hi- sorry to tumpang this thread. - on the Reliability perspective.
understand your choice and later preference of getting the 2017MBAir. Though may i ask,
since 2013MBA also was in consideration- does it mean that Mac is generally reliable?
i have a few laptop and desktop, most of them last only 2-3 years.
Even an HP Workstation desktop Z400 or something which was suppose to be more reliable, also die off despite I used it like less than 5 time permonth on average.
I am currently using Lenovo i5 ( not Thinkpad)- for about Rm 2000. Gosh... it is aweful. It is freaking slow to boot, open program like Chorme also take like 30 secs, and need to wait another 10sec before i could enter to the address bar. It is like 1 year old and i felt like wanna ditch it already. The hardware is probably good, perhaps window 10 and all the preloaded program is overloading the processor and RAM. It was 4GB ram, i just added another 4GB and only minimal improvement.
I am not a heavy user. Just some casual using office, do some simple video editing, web browsing and casual gaming.
It is just a hassle to transfer all the recovered/backed file to new laptop, as well as transfering the software licenses.
Am seriously considering to get the MBA- and regret i spent the 2k on the lenovo. Poor man pay twice, as they say.
any advice here- particularly on MBA reliability.
for me it's a big difference. i had a company-issued 2013 Dell laptop with core i5, and my 2008 macbook pro with core 2 duo still feels faster haha. and this was before i upgraded the MBP to SSD. after SSD upgrade, night and dayunderstand your choice and later preference of getting the 2017MBAir.

but yeah it's a huge difference comparing macs and baseline windows laptops. only recently do we get premium windows laptops that can rival the macbooks like Dell XPS and HP spectre series. so do consider those as well.
