I am by no means a major creator in any form but I really like it. I like the sound of the butterfly keyboard, I like how light and small it is, I like the speakers and screen. I just love it. The intel core’s are not fantastic no and it does slow down, and yes I am constantly worried the heat will eventually be the demise of my logic board but I really would buy it again. (I got this one for $100). I use it more than my M1. I use tableau and excel pretty well on it. The battery is not horrible, especially since my M1 battery really does not last 6 hours or over anymore(idk what happened to it). This little machine was fantastic for the time. If it came out again with Apple silicon I would buy 10.

I love my 2017 12 inch also. It’s been totally problem free…just needed a new battery after 5 years. For travel and basic use it’s incredible. Apple just has to reissue the body of it with modern internals. It will sell like crazy.
Laptops, I’m all for MacBooks. Desktop, give me a Windows PC.
it’s hard to find a reasonably priced prebuilt nowadays though, going to best buy everything that is usable is in the thousands of dollars
Depends on what you are buying. I have a mini PC that’s AMD, 16 gigs of RAM and paid under $300.
I love mine also. It’s light as heck
I’m with you. I would get rid of my M1 MBA in a heartbeat if a 12” came back on the market. I still take my 12” whenever I travel.
Surprised you managed to finish this post without the keyboard breaking
A great laptop that was ahead of its time. I traveled the world with that thing. It would make so much more sense today, though. Hopefully they will bring it back.
