The big change I'd like to see in the MacBook Air line is the return of the 11" option; I realize that's too small for a lot of people but for me it was the perfect carry-everywhere form factor for a laptop. (Of course, I also found the iPhone mini line perfect-sized and that got dropped, so I'm probably an outlier)
That's interesting. After trying a 13" macbook myself, I sized back up to a 16" and personally wont be going back.
There is only a marginal difference in my backpack, I don't really notice it. But every time I was using the smaller device I was getting annoyed with the small screen and cramped keyboard/trackpad setup.
This is me, still clinging to my 2015 11” Air. My biggest gripe is I miss the screen ratio. 16:9 is so much more aesthetically pleasing and functional to me than the 16:10 ratio of the new models. That 1 unit makes a world of difference to me.
Different strokes for different folks. I despise the 16:9 ratio and glad it's finally phasing out, if just a little bit. I read a lot of text, so that extra vertical unit is huge for me.
