But she looks like the other ponies, just with a different color scheme and mane/tail.

It's been a wonderful journey with you, Wingnut. As always, though, life comes first. Good luck! o7

Ah, brings me back to Microsoft's early days.

Welcome back!

The Illuminati's behind this, obviously. Steam's trying to tell you something.

I thought you left :V 

Pizza saved my life.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought of the user x)

Blowout soon, fellow stalker! 

Later, bro.

I was going to make a witty remark, but this is so cute I can't even. Congratulations!

That's another thing the Yoga has over the Air, yeah, but it's a niche feature. You'd buy that if you needed it, but I'd wager that most prospective laptop customers wouldn't be prioritizing it. Comparing both as ultrabooks (where the emphasis is on speed, portability, and battery life), I would prefer the Air every time. 

"If you mean the Macbook Air, okay, Enlighten me, Find me an ultrabook ( Keyword: ULTRABOOK ) that has the exact same specs as the base Macbook air 11", and for cheaper."

 

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. It's about the same as the 13" MBA, but has 8GB RAM instead of 4 and a 3200x1800 screen instead of a 1440x900 screen for less than the 256GB model (for the same amount of storage, 256GB).

 

Do I win?

Not quite. Surface-level specs aren't everything. Those alone don't dictate performance and, most importantly, user satisfaction. The Yoga 2 Pro has a battery life of nine hours. The MBA 13" has thirteen. The Air also has Intel HD graphics 5000, which delivers over 40% higher performance than the Yoga's 4400. 

Let's consider SSD read/write speeds, as well. The Air's sequential read speed is benchmarked at over 800 MB/s, and it has a write speed of over 700 MB/s (source: AnandTech). On the other hand, the Yoga is limited to read speeds of around 500 MB/s, and write speeds of 130 MB/s (source: PC Pro). This is a massive difference. 

A few other things to consider: the MBA has two USB 3.0 ports, an SD card reader, and a thunderbolt port. The Yoga 2 has a similar loadout, but has one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0. 

The only thing that the Yoga has over the MacBook is the screen, the importance of which varies from person to person. I don't care for that, personally, especially with the screen sizes involved. 

It's also generally agreed that the MacBook's touchpad is superior to the competition, but that's obviously not quantifiable. 

Ever since I started using *nix (including OS X, which I use now), I simply can't go back to Windows. It's too limiting. And yes, I can install whatever I want on OS X. The myth that Apple restricts everything needs to stop being perpetuated. 

lol 

Human? I thought you were a Time Lord. 

On a more serious note, congratulations! An MBA is nothing to scoff at!

So does it have a mechanical keyboard?

I came expecting the stable marriage problem. I am disappointed, spambot. 

Well put. I think it's reasonable to be hurt if someone you thought was your friend fails to mention you, but it's really a separate issue from popularity. I do have an issue with it (which is why I never participate in those threads), but popularity isn't it.
