it's not about consumerism, just like power consumption. this is not how it works, how the product is made and how the power is generated is what counts. in Apple's case, this are by far the most environmental firendly devices on the planet. because of the insane numbers, literally most sold laptop of all time, the efficiency is literally the best in the industry, so much that repairing pollutes more than simply getting a new one, it is that efficient. so, we need to differentiate when talking about the environment. whats super bad is the windows world, plastic, short life span, low usage, extremely vast product catalog, all different. macs are so much more friendly its not even worth to talk about, it is that far ahead compared to the rest. people literally use them for decades, as seen here often. have a nice day

Hot take - I think this gen of Macbook Air is one of the best computers ever made. It doesn't have the best screen or the best performance, but it just works and continues to work. Pair that with the fact that the case design was revolutionary at the time, the keyboard is wonderful, it was thin light and it came in at a great pricepoint and you have a computer that is a pleasure to use, even 12 years after it was introduced. As Luke said, 50 trillion people bought one. I still use my 2012 Macbook Air (i7, 8gb) daily for basic tasks and it's great. That's a 10 year old computer! Crazy. Advice for anyone who wants to buy one of these - GET ONE WITH 8GB of RAM! It's essential in 2022 and beyond.

Hey Luke, After viewing this video about buying a MacBook Air at 1/12th the price of a new one, I looked on Ebay and, sure enough, there were many to select from. I decided to spend an extra hundred bucks and just bought a MacBook Air 13” Early 2014 model with 8Gb RAM and a 256Gb SSD, in excellent condition, including the original Apple packaging, for only $198. I’m an Apple collector and mainly bought this to add to my collection. But as you say, it’s a great all-around laptop and I’ll definitely pack it on trips because it’s so light and capable. I like your KZread channel and watch it a lot. Thanks for all you do. Keep up the good work. John M.

I have a 2012 as my throw it in a bag and never worry about it and honestly I love it because I know I spent $75 on it plus a battery and that I can replace it for another $100 if I need to. It’s great for travel because there is no risk and nice port options.

Luke- just so you know, the iFixit tool box cover acts as a screw storage when flipped over. Once flipped over, you will see squared-off dividers to help you separate screws as you wish. Really helps from accidentally having a random screw sliding under your computer and scratching the shit out of it.

Luke was so much more calm and relaxed in this video compared to his normal angry mood when he cannot believe how unfairly expensive a second hand MBP was on eBay. Great video.

I got one of these for my grandmother who was using a Walmart special HP windows 10 computer that really was e-waste from the get-go. She absolutely loves it. Hundred bucks on eBay and yes it is still stuck on an older version of macOS but security patches are still available and all the browsers and office stuff are still supported so really you can’t go wrong.

I got mine in 2013 as well (had the white plastic MacBook for high school, got a few years on you) and I still use it! It sits permanently on top of my piano for music recording. SD card, magsafe, USB ports, definitely holds up. It was and still is a great machine.

I have an 11 inch 2015 version of this. Great little machine. Solid as a rock.

got my early 2014 MBA and it still works and still has a decent backup on it! It is an incredible machine in terms of longevity.

Hey Luke you are absolutely right. I bought M1 Mac Pro Max last year but my 2013 Mac air i7 8GB 256GB is still my daily workhorse. I also still keep my first Mac Air ,2011 model as a backup. :)

MacBook Air 2017, bought from new, seen me through high school and college. Battery only just replaced today, still as fast as ever. Best laptop I've ever had not planning on getting rid of it. Gonna try the method of installing the latest MacOS on it

watching this on my 2013 Macbook Air on MacOS Big Sur. Still rocking. The best part about it is that you can save the battery by blocking the middle port on your magsafe connector when using it connected. My battery is still on 94% health

I have a 2012 air 13” that I used for a good while after my grandmother gave it to me because she upgraded, however it began to start overheating and crashing at least once a day, I changed the thermal paste and cleaned the vents, but the issue persisted, despite the battery having less than 300 cycles, it would barely last 5 hours of light use. Im guessing this is a cpu issue and could not be fixed easily As much as I liked the laptop I just couldn’t deal with the instability anymore so I upgraded to the 14 inch base model MacBook Pro

Got mine in March 2014 and its still keeping me going. Had to have a third party battery installer but everything else is good

I make use of and still use a 2007 MacBook Pro as a semi primary laptop. It’s smooth and fast and works really well on OSX mavericks

Awesome Luke, because I already have one in storage! Maybe it's time to fire it up again and use Opencore Legacy Patcher to get it running on the latest macOS.

I am using this Macbook rn as a secondary laptop, with opencore i am now running MacOS Sonoma on it and honestly, its very much useable.

Time flies, to see such upgradable macbook again, feels like yesterday, makes me question myself what I've achieved all these years

I have a late 2015 11" Air (the internals were upgraded after the logic board got waterlogged) that I still use, and even though it has only 4GB of RAM, it runs Monterrey like a dream, and doesn't feel sluggish at all, for typical web browsing and using typical tasks/apps like word processing. And at 11", it is super tiny and fits everywhere. It's lighter than my 9.5" iPad Pro with a keyboard, and it's slimmer. Highly recommend for writers, esp. if you want to pair it with an external monitor at the desk.

I have one of the early 2015 13 inch Airs with 8GBs of ram. Got it from my cousin as she didn't use it anymore and asked if I wanted it. My Lenovo laptop was kinda dying, so I took it, and i was astonished over how usable these things still are. Everyday tasks like browsing the web, Word, basic Excel, and content consumption (watched this video on it) are still very doable on here and don't feel that slow, and those are the only things I use it for really. So yeah, still very great laptops, even today, especially now with how cheap they've become!

I have a 2013 MB Air like the one in this video and I refuse to upgrade it because it's on it's latest Big Sur update and it's working perfectly! Going on a little past 2k cycles now and the battery holds a decent charge too!

Laptops reached maturity some 8-10 years ago. Everything with ssd and more then 4gb of ram feels pretty snappy. I still use my high school budget i3 laptop and it does everything i need. Only thing I did upgraded on it was RAM to 12 gb from 6 gb. It even got automatically updated to Windows 11. Was really surprised about that because processor is ancient i3 5005u.

2017 Air user here. It is perfect for email/web/youtube/Excel etc

I got a 2013. SSD died in 2020. Replaced it and it was good as new. Battery died this year. Easy to replace. It's not my main laptop, but it's so easy to take on the road. And unlike a Mac Mini from the same era, these things are quite usable.

Thanks for the video! I just swapped my wife's 2012 MBA ssd. Getting double/quadruple read/write disk bumps with a newer nvme ssd.

I had the 13in MBA 2013 and it was luckily the 8gb ram model so it did handle web browsing just fine, although slow to load at times. Other than bad battery drain on mine, I really liked the Pre-2018 Macbook Airs. I'm on the basemodel m1 MBA currently and it's plenty fast for web browsing and media consumption.

I have one from that era that was in regular use (for light , portable use) until I bought my M1 Macbook Pro. It is now in regular use by my teenager.

Agree, been using my 2010 till 2021, changed battery 3 times, touchpad, keyboard and later changed to m1. 2010 is happily serving as a web browsing machine for my 60+ years old mom, she’s also happy about it

I just bought myself an 2015 Macbook 12" and I am super happy with it! It does everything I need and it costed me only 300$

I love my 2015 MacBook Air 13". Was my daily driver in college, still my daily driver today, though it needs a little pick-me-up in the form of a battery and SSD upgrade. Once I do that, I plan to use this computer up until they stop releasing security updates for it. Even then, it's still gonna see some use as maybe a media server and a retro gaming machine.

Just wanna say, great video! I recently bought a good condition MBA early 2015 with 8G of ram for my teenage son. The computer works just fine for all daily tasks on Monterey, the battery had 384 cycles, and can still hold for 6-7 hours of normal use. Best of all, I paid 170 Canadian$ for it, that’s about 130 USD, great price for a capable machine, I’m a happy camper

I gave this same model to my mom, with it acting like a mirror of her data on her iPhone via iCloud syncing. She basically can do all the "big screen" stuff on it at home, and use her phone when she is mobile. It can't run any OS newer than High Sierra, so the 4GB RAM is still sufficient. But the 2013 8GB/512GB MBA that replaced it as my spare "kitchen PC" struggles with only 8GB, because Mac OS is several versions newer. I've thought about wiping it and starting fresh, with just signing into iCloud and downloading the top 5-6 apps that I use, rather than having restored my 16" MBP's TimeMachine apps and user account which has slowed it down.

Still rocking on a 2011 MacBook Air. Run hot on anything else than basic tasks, shuts down on a little load like video calls, but enough for most days

I have a friend who is an IT guy. He just gave me several items that were being retired from service. One of them was a 2011 MacBook Air. Now it's the Core2Duo version, and only has 2GB of RAM, but I really like it. The person who was using it had installed Manjaro on it. It was used, and it's still in good shape. I'm quite impressed with it. The weight, the battery life (considering the battery is over 10 years old), the keyboard, and more are still really good. Good enough that I briefly considered keeping it (I am selling it). I do want to buy a newer one to use at home. I like it better than the Lenovo Flex 15 that my company issued to me.

I bought the same Macbook Air in 2020 from the Apple store Refurbished section for school. I’ve had it 3 years still have apple care on it and used it for everything lectures, notes assignments, exams and watching shows. I love having all the ports, better keyboard, magsafe and the glowing apple logo.

My wife has a 2012 mbp 13 inch and I have a 2014 mbp. Both are still great

I got one kicking around the house somewhere. Last I remember I couldn't upgrade to the newest OS some years back. I'm sure it still works if I ever get that desperate. It's the 11" model.

I’ve owned a lot of MBs, MBPs and MB Airs, but there is something really special about thin Apple laptops. I still use a 2011 11’ mid-spec and prefer to the 12” MB.

I have the MacBook air early 2014 version. I believe the only reason google chrome or safari lags consistently when trying to search is because of the new updates I put on it. The battery in it I need to fix but have been dragging it. But you're right the MacBook airs are unbelievably fast. Mine is very fast and I love it, but I'm giving it to a friend and maybe will sell my 2017 iMac (base model) to get a 13-inch MacBook pro. This is a great video btw!

I currently use my MB Air (early 2015) and still LOVE IT! it's soo light, very easy to carry and has 2 usb ports and an sd card reader. I just wish I would've gotten the highest spec one at the time so I could keep using it for another 2 years or so. It's still runs fantastically for everyday tasks and even coding, but it's a tad bit slow, if I have more than say 15 tabs, which is to be expected for a 7 year old machine with a 1.6 Gz intel Core i5 and JUST 4 GB of ram.

That's my boy! Mid-2013 MacBook Air, bought stock with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage in late 2013 for university. First ever Mac and first laptop, coming from a family Win7 desktop, it was a shock how good and fast it felt. In retrospect, I've been really lucky buying a Mid-2013 instead of a Mid-2012. Upgraded a couple years ago with a 512GB Sabrent NVMe, it still does the job for general usage, even if in 2022 4GB of RAM are surely few. Still supported for Big Sur and will be until fall of 2023, marking TEN years of security updates. Nuts. Monterey also very easily doable with Open Core Legacy Patcher and still some hope for Ventura.
