This is really cool! In so many 2nd and 3rd world/poor countries internet is a luxury, as the price of bandwith is so high. Philippines for instance, a country that mainly provides connectivity through limited 3G and LTE, have a monthly price of about 30 beers from the local bar. In comparison, I pay around the price of 4-5 local beers, for 100/100 fiber.

Its sucks so hard that people cant afford to get knowledge from internet. Especially considering they would benefit greatly as schoolbooks are expensive and in some countries, censored.

I agree. The Mail client is constantly beach ballin and freezes at times. The issue is resolved by deleting the account and recreating it again. Surely not as intended. Especially for an app that virtually everyone on a Mac uses on a daily basis. I keep sending my crash reports but Mail client software updates seems to never come...

Also, another really annoying bug is when screensaver goes on and locks the screen. Sometimes, if I try and wake it up to fast it will freeze with a black screen for 60-120 seconds before I can unlock it again.

Something that doesn't seem to get mentioned in the comments is the placing of the trackpad; so near the keyboard. This was one the first things I recognised as a potential err.

I once had a ASUS notebook which had a similar design. The problem was that my tip of one or both thumbs or part of it, often touched the touchpad in a fashion that it selected text if working in a editor. This would happen so fast that my typing replaced the text. Very annoying, so annoying that I bought a new notebook of different brand.

I imagine something similar could happen on the Macbook Notebook.

I got a new fully specced XPS 13" from work. More than being small it's one of the worst computers I ever had. Battery life suck, fans constantly spinning in idle. The only thing I like is the charger and screen. The keyboard is somewhat nice. Other than that, totally crappy PC. Ouch that sounds harsh, but thats what take from it and for 999-1200usd you can find so much better.
