I've the new macbook 12" for 2 weeks and I am back to a max-out 15" mid-2015. Yeah, it was slow but I miss the form factor so much, I am going to buy it back. You can really fall in love with it.
Agreed. I really love my 12" greybook - the 15" feels absolutely GIGANTIC after a couple of weeks on the Macbook. I've got a 27" iMac on my desk for when I need some real horsepower, but I find myself using the 12" 95% of the time.
Any idea how the 12" compares to the Macbook Air in terms of performance? I'm running a 2014 13", the i5 CPU is fine for my needs but more memory (I've got 4GB) would be good when running VMs.
Should be comparable or faster. Scored ~2300 single core ~5500 multi core (Geekbench) with a 1.2Ghz.
