New MacBook Air

They deserve flak and they are getting it. It doesn’t have to be logical. It is emotional. They also created an emotional brand.

Somehow I think Apple can handle it. Anyone wasting energy complaining is only doing so because they are waiting to buy again.

It makes as much sense defending them as it does yelling at them about a keyboard.

I dunno, I used to buy Apples because they had great hardware for a fair price (premium, sure, but if you're in the market for a premium machine...), but my last two machines have been a Dell and a Surface. It's different trade offs, but '\_o_/` I was never wedded to their operating system anyway.

I held off buying a new MBP replacement for two years now thanks to the massive criticism over the butterfly fiasco. I'd say the complaining was useful and had an impact. Not wasteful at all.
