First impressions of my new MacBook Air, after using it just a few minutes
Monday, March 25, 2024
- Holy cow, this thing is fast compared with my 2018 MacBook Pro. I did a thing where I open 30+ tabs simultaneously. Took a couple of minutes on the MBP, but is virtually instantaneous on the MBA.
- Migration Assistant seems to have worked flawlessly. I had to authenticate and give permission for a few things, but that only took about a minute.
- Unexpected benefit: With a 15" built-in display, I now have a usable second display for my desk. My previous 13" display wasn’t usable when the MBP was on my desktop attached to the external Cinema Display, keyboard and trackball, except under limited circumstances. I hadn’t considered that when I decided on 15".
- Hmmm… I hope this thing fits into my favorite computer bag. If not—MOAR shopping!
- I can switch back to Safari from Vivaldi now, but I don’t know if I will. I’ve come to like Vivaldi.
