Ah okay, that makes sense now! You're on a much shorter upgrade cycle than what I imagined.

Nah, I tend to upgrade every two or three cycles. It seems this last one is unusually long though.

Build quality and weight is phenomenal. It seems to be mostly immune to dust too. If there were only a new model with updated specs and a better screen, maybe a bit more juiced-up battery too! I'll wait until Autumn to see if Apple has anything new regarding MBA. I'm eyeing that Surface Book. Pen, if anything like Wacom, would be a godsend for Photoshop sketching.
