Honestly I miss my MacBook 12”. I still have it but it too long in the tooth and will soon be converted to a Chromebook or sold. It's just a lovely size for traveling.

I've never been able to convert over to iPad + keyboard for the same writing and hyper-productive working.

Do the new Airs not meet this need? Are they too big, or...?

I went from the 12" Macbook to the 13" Macbook Air. It's noticeably bigger and heavier, especially if you're backpacking or bikepacking.

On the other hand, the new Macbooks... wow.

They are.

I also really loved my Air 11". A lot of tech friends who were on call would carry them in large jacket pockets. I remember someone pulling one out at a restaurant in Valencia St in SF because pager duty went off.

MacBook 12 was a worthy upgrade on size to get the retina screen. Air 13" is just a laptop at this point.

I hope we see a Mac Netbook at some point, lol.
