The advantage is not needing a backpack but just a small bag. The advantage is less weight. The advantage is being able to hold your laptop and a coffee without one arm feeling heavy and throwing off your balance. The advantage of having a laptop that feels powerful yet elegant.

If this laptop got rid of the Ethernet port in favor of wifi only and it got rid of the hdmi and USB ports in favor of USB-C, and it upgraded to at least a 1440p display, I’d probably buy one as my daily driver.

No one can come close to what my MacBook Air can do and how it feels. I wish they would. It’s thin, quiet, comfortable, elegant, but it’s arm64 in a world of x86 and that has issues still. I’d love an x86 version (even if it’s a few mm thicker to support a fan).
