I've had my 15" Air since a week or two after launch, and am still amazed by it.

A couple of months back I tentatively downloaded No Man's Sky to see how it would cope, it being fanless and all. Started playing, fully expecting it to either set fire to my legs or throttle so hard that it was unplayable.

Neither happened. It was absolutely fine.

Even more amazing; when the weather was nice, I'd take it outside and sit on my deck where I'd get at least three hours from the battery. While playing NMS on ultra.

Maybe that's common in the Windows gaming laptop world, but as someone who's had several MacBooks since 2007, I still can't wrap my head around how good it is.
