Macbook 12" vs. Macbook Air 11"

I have had a Macbook Air 11" since 2010. It has been perfect for traveling and I used it as my main computer every single day. I feel like for the amount of use it got, lasting 5 years was amazing for a laptop. When it finally started to die, in about November, I decided it was time to start looking for a replacement. I knew I wanted another Macbook but I wasn't sure which one. I did a lot of research and decided that I needed to go to the store to make a final decision. With some help from the guys at the Apple store, I decided on the Macbook 12". Now that I have had my new computer for a few months, I wanted to share my thoughts on how it compared to my previous one.The Macbook 12" is actually smaller than the Macbook Air 11". Apple has created a thinner, smaller computer that does so much more. The keyboard is a new design that is lighter and easier to use. I have had a few opportunities to use Paris's Macbook Air and I can't believe the difference in the keyboard!One of the major differences between the two laptops is the ports on the sides. The Macbook Air has three ports on the right side-power, usb & headphone jack. On the left side there is another USB port and one more additional port.

Overall, I love the Macbook 12". It is even better for traveling than the Macbook Air and the screen is AMAZING! I love that I can carry it in my smaller purses but it is still incredibly powerful.
