Is new MacBook Air as bad as it seems?

It's been several months, and I'm still getting stuck a lot: I click on back page and get a list.

If you Ean. in Safari, that's expected behavior when you hold down the pointer on the back arrow.

Everything takes lots of clicks that should be simple.

Such as?

Also, quite often I find the text of an email running off the page on the right and I can't figure out how to see the whole text. (Enter Full Screen doesn't work, and there's a bar of options at the bottom blocking access to the thing that allows you to shift page from left to right and vice versa.) Just now I couldn't get back to Inbox in Gmail; cursor was stuck in a folder below and nothing would get it to rise again.

That sounds like your window is not displayed properly or that you have zoomed your text. Hard to know without seeing it.

Disgusted and thinking of dumping it for something else.

Your choice.
