FYI, using the names of Apple products without an article ("a MacBook Air") or pluralization ("MacBook Airs") makes you look like an asshole. Probably not intentional on your part though!

Sorry but I was referring to all Macbook Air laptops as a whole, as a single brand here, rather than one specific device. I think that is acceptable.

Would you say "A lot of developers and video editors use Thinkpad X1 Carbon"? No. usually it'd be "Thinkpad X1 Carbons" or "a Thinkpad X1 Carbon".

"makes you look like an asshole" might be a slight overstatement here...
