Sure, but it has the horrible butterfly keyboard--with those crammed up arrows I hate so much--and all ports are gone.

Also, how do we kniw they'll stay without releasing another one for another 5 years?

As a MacBook Air user for years, I'm glad I jumped ship a year ago.

What did you replace it with?

Would love to upgrade with something as reliable as this 2013 Air I've been abusing everyday for years.

I'd give anything for a windows laptop with the trackpad and reliable sleep/hibernate you get from osx/apple laptops.

Not the person you replied to, but look at a Dell XPS 13 or a Lenovo X1 Carbon. I have been recommending the XPS 13 to our customers and they love it.

I you can afford it, a Surface Book. Otherwise, a Dell XPS.

I personally use Linux Xfce, but Windows is just great.
