#3Anyone here who has experience working with JS/TS development tools (vscode, yarn, webpack, Node.js etc.) on a recent MacBook Air? I wonder if the performance is noticeably worse than a 13” MacBook Pro for this type of work.

#4So the question is, will these fail when an eyelash falls into them and cost $1000 to repair?

#5I wish they would offer customers of the previous gen a coupon. Mine has been serviced and given a new keyboard and it still double types.
No chance I’m buying another one any time soon.
Re: New MacBook Air
#6It's a shame there isn't a way to try the keyboard in person due to all the retail shutdowns.

#7I like it how they have to almost shout "no butterfly switch keyboard there" now
Thank you Louis Rossmann!

Well they replaced the butterfly keyboard with the traditional scissor switch keyboard so the answer should be no finally.

Up until late 2018, my MBA 2013 was doing ok with a stack transitioning to full js/ts. Now it’s close to unusable as our projects build multiple containers, load hundreds of node packages etc. Unfortunately, the 2019 MBA isn’t much better. I’m still wondering whether to hold until a new MBP 13/14”, or give this a try.
