I just grabbed the 13 inch air for my son. Perfect for his first laptop
Agree completely - picked one up for my daughter in college. Perfect for her needs and for $800, it's a great deal for an Apple laptop. The processor was bumped up in the summer of this year, so it's not like it hasn't seen updates through the years.
Serious question: what’s wrong with buying this MacBook Air mid 2017?!?
Absolutely nothing wrong with buying one if it suits your needs. But for those who don't want to buy a device knowing that there are other models with greater performance, capacity, and hardware that exist, then the Macbook Air is a non-starter.
My 2014 4GB/128GB 11" MBA is still going strong. There's something to be said for a macOS device that is slightly larger than an iPad. Sadly, the 11" MBA has been discontinued, but if I had to replace my MBA today, I would have no problem picking up the 13"... especially at $200 off.
