Now i want to buy a MacBook, so now i know that i can better go with a MacBook Pro 2017 version but i do not want to take that risk because: 1.

Lack of ports 3. To be honest i do not like the design at all 4.

My classmates who own a 2017 Pro told me they have heating and lagging problems I also did some research and i read that there are graphic designers using an MacBook Air.

All ports 3. MagSafe charger.

Now there is a MacBook Air with a i7 processor that i want to buy, but indeed for a couple hundreds of euros more i can better get a Pro.

So can you guys help me out please Kind regards, Mary Dubois.

If you are going to use external display, I would go with MacBook Air 2013-2017.

Its a decent machine with great design, battery life is good too.

MacBook Air 2018 on the other hand, is falsely advertised as having better battery life, which is a lie.

While there were people getting above 10 hours of battery life on older MacBook Air, it seems impossible on the new one.

And Im personally getting around 6 hours, not even doing anything heavy.

If something got under they key, I just picked it up with my nail, cleaned it and put back in place.

Keep in mind that the screen in MacBook Air 2013-2017 is pretty old technology and it doesnt look top great comparing to Retina display.

I have used it for years, but as a graphic designer you may need better color accuracy and resolution.

If you are getting only six hours, then its probably best to return it.

Hello there i have an urgent question, So i am a graphic designer student and i am using programs suh as InDesign, PhotoShop Illustratir etc.

When he needs to scan something, he takes a picture using his iPhone, and transfers it to his MacBook.

He has used PCs, and says they are not as efficient as an Apple.

For a student though, just about any Mac will be completely fine.
