    MacBook Air 2017 vs MacBook Pro 2015: Which one to choose?

    I will be buying my first MacBook. But, I am on a tight budget. 2 MacBooks are in my range. One is MacBook Air 2017 i5 13inch vs MacBook Pro 2015 i5 13 inch. I am an undergrad computer science student. I primarily need a laptop for programming. Which one would be a wiser choice overall?

    Macbook Pro 2017 - W key brighter than others

    Hey, I'm not paranoid or anything, It's just super irritating especially in the night when W shines as some party club while others are calmly dimmed. I want to ask if I'm the only one with this problem and if it's worth taking it to Apple Store.
