Revainrating 5 out of 5

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

Many of the applications will need to be ated or replaced altogether because they are incompatible with modern hardware. All but WonTubeVideokonverter, a little application that can overnight convert a wide variety of content into user-friendly, editable codecs, have been consumed and replaced. The outdated Air 2022 is still able to complete this specific mission. The thought of switching out the laces for quick-connectors is about on par with the urgency with which I see the matter. Usb 2.0 flash drives are twice as quick, even when used with an adaptor. If someone learns something from my critique, I'll be happy. If you wish to take, please ask. When comparing pricing and quality, I was unable to locate anything comparable for $1,000. Over the course of eight and a half years, the front door was used numerous times per day. During this time, I merely fixed the USB port and replaced the battery; it would have lasted longer if not for the appearance of a quarter-screen strip and the death of the trackpad, both of which could only be fixed by expensive repairs. There are defects in everything, yet at the iron level, everything seems to be okay. If OS ever gets completed, it will be ideal.

Pros
  • After 8.5 years of use, I've decided to compare my brand-new Air 2022 to my trusty old MacBook on M1. The Air 2022 on the M1 has shrunk much, the screen is improved, it is completely silent (very awesome), and it barely gets hot. The battery will last for around 8 hours under normal conditions. AirDrop is twice as quick now that needless "trust-distrust" affirmations are no longer required and devices are remembered between uses. We can probably claim, with a few caveats, that this model is the very perfect Air, to which Apple came via an evolutionary road. Maybe this youngster can handle not just professional video projects but also professional work with color. The only areas where it falls short of the Air 2022 are the keyboard and trackpad, and even those are only somewhat worse. The trackpad now has three pressure settings, and by moving the slider to the "easy" position, I almost restored the previous level of comfort when pressing.
Cons
  • Here, "weeds" means "Monterey 12.5" The trackpad is slow, the selection moves too quickly, and when I copy and paste text, it takes on extra characters to the right and left. When typing, the cursor sometimes veers off to an unexpected spot. With earlier Macbooks, this was not the case. A number of times while typing, Text Edit would freeze; I'd have to restart the program and start over. The typical "new document" and "save as" options are no longer available in Notes. Instead, I've been using Notes, but it's not possible to make multiple notes at once; you have to exit the software before you're given the option to make a new one. The songs you add to a playlist are not really added to the playlist, but rather to a separate file repository simply titled "Songs." To create the appropriate playlist, 500 songs from a pool of 2022 are selected by hand. Every video file now automatically opens in QuickTimePlayer. Never mind that I've never used it because it's always been a pain and doesn't do much, but now you can't even change the app that opens a particular file type. There are still inactive checkboxes, however. Also, the computer now uses the definition of "avi" to mean "something downloaded from the Internet," and it vouchs that the avi in question does not come with a certificate of origin from the maker. The long-awaited watching is still permitted after an inane exchange with the computer and the reset of the warnings. I made sure the boxes were always selected in the display and power options. With almost no effort on your part, the screen keeps dozing off. All the boxes are checked and the sliders are set (that is, I have it stored in memory), but it still doesn't work. It's frustrating that the key to switch languages keeps getting moved around in OS updates. Crap! Cupertino! You've moved this key three times now, but they've been doing it mindlessly for years, swapping it back and forth between locks a hundred to five hundred times a day.
