I have been a mac guy since 1984. I have had very good luck with all my previous and current Mac. Never bought apple care (never needed it). My current MBP 2012 retina is 6 years old and still work great (best laptop). I would like to upgrade. Three things are making me hesitate. Cost, Keyboard issues and the lack of ports.
I follow these forums daily and the keyboards on the new laptops seem to still have issues. I thought the new air would be my machine. I do not need the power of pro anymore now that I am retired but the fact it only has two USB-C ports is an issue. I constantly have a 2nd screen plug in and need to able to pop in a thumb drive from time to time, plus there will an occasion to charge it also.
I have looked at the available dongles for USB, HDMI, etc and reviews are all over the place. I can't go windows left that long ago and can't go back.
Cost wise it seems only $100 separates the air from MacBook and MacBook Pro
Just had to get it of my chest
