    Nothing comes close to the battery life, performance, and formfactor of the MBA. A ThinkPad X1 Carbon might get close, but Linux always struggles with brand new devices. It looks like a base model starts at $1700 (USD) and it’s going to perform worse and get worse battery life

    I made up my mind and I went to the Apple Store just to check if they still had 15” MBA.

    It turned out that they did and were giving them away with a wholesale discount (sorry I’m not sure if that’s the term) plus the student discount I got it from 1519€ to 1219€. I think it was a great deal.

    I’d expect there to be workarounds in Tahoe and future os rollouts.

    Yeah, that’ll probably be the case, I’m quite used to having third-party software to add things I need that apple hasn’t added.

    Although, I’ll probably miss some features like the old System Preferences or the LaunchPad.
