I liked the 13-inch version, but it was the 11-inch version that became my second computer - a perfect compliment to my iMac. Like many other hit Apple products, it became a design icon, distinctive in its appearance. It has become one of Apple’s best-selling products. And it had the right amount of ports, a good battery, and a decent screen. In time, the Macbook Air evolved, and when the tapering trapezoid model came out - you could see that Apple’s design team had nailed it. It was classic Jony Ive, form over function design, made to please only one master - Steve.

And even the way to connect the power bank and USB cable to it was less than ideal.

The screen wasn’t anything to write home about.

I remember telling one of my colleagues that I needed to get better because I wanted to buy and use that diminutive and thin device. It was back in 2008, and I was recovering from a tough medical condition. I have always had a sweet spot for the MacBook, from the day Steve Jobs showed it off for the first time on stage.
