I think I’ve gotten a new computer at least once a year for, um, at least a decade. I’ve probably upgraded every year since I got rid of my 12″ Powerbook, which was (I believe) the year the intel Mac laptops came out.
I had recently switched from a Macbook Air to a Retina 13″ (where by “recently”, I think I mean some time last fall). The main reason was the much better screen, but I also got more power, which I thought I’d be using given some of the work I was doing.
Then, I ended up buying a 12″ Macbook (which Marco Arment calls the Macbook1, for its single port), as a kind of one-shot solution for a trip to China. I didn’t end up using it on the trip, but decided to try it out.
