Also interesting is that the SSD in the base model is still the same size as the SSD in the base model of the MacBook Air Mid 2013. Sure, the SSDs became faster, but it is quite insane that a model that is six years newer still comes with the same capacity (at roughly the same price).
Other than that, it seems like a great laptop for its price. It's nice that the 'budget' models now have retina as well.
