Hi Traci, Yeah I've looked at these machines also.
The processor has been dropped / changed from a dual core i5 1.5GHz To a quad core I5 or I7 and I think 1.2 or 1.4 GHz processors. I'd personally be looking at the highest I7 possible processor and 16GB ram with minimum 512GB ssd. That does hike the price up but that will give you another 6 plus years out of the machine. I am running a mid 2013 11" mac book air custom build and it's had a few hard knocks but it will need to be updated at some point soon and the air is my preferred for weight and size. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Traci Duncan Sent: Wednesday, 15 April 2020 8:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: New MacBook Air advice? Hi all, I was doing a little research on the new 13.3 MacBook Air. I may be upgrading from the Mid 2011 model. Would you agree with the following? Opting for the core i5 and 8 gb memory is a good mix of power and value? One article suggested upgrading to the 16 gb is unnecessary and bumping into the MacBook pro tier. I wouldn’t say I am a power user, but as you can tell, I keep my technology for a long time. I haven’t researched new laptops or computers for a while. I welcome any and all advice for proformance matching value. Thank you, Traci -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
