Comment on Ask HN: What's your experience with the new macbook?parentComments−Cacti11yWell, to be fair, any prolonged, heavy computing will also kill the Air's battery. And the fan sounds like a freaking plane taking off.−falcolas11yShorter battery life vs. significantly reduced computing power (due to reduced heat dissipation). Personally, for the development use case, I'll take the reduced battery life; I can mitigate that problem with a power cable.
