The 12” MacBook (2015) was the last Apple laptop I bought before the current MacBook Air M2. I opted for a BTO with the i7 processor but it was still stultifying and slow, a constant exercise in frustration. Eventually the motherboard died requiring an out-of-warranty repair, which I conceded to, but shortly after that the batteries died… and then I set it aside. An absolutely stunning piece of design work but so unusably slow it put me off laptops for a full seven years. What did I use in the meantime? A 2012 Mac Mini upgraded to the hilt and more recently a Mac Studio, and various releases of iPads and iPad Pros throughout the years.
