I still use a 2012 air. It has been demoted in the food chain (so no longer main laptop), but it’s mind blowing how well it still works for basic browsing. Maybe time I replace with a 14” MBP. If that one lasts another 11 years I’m happy.
My motivation for the new air was that I was tired of investing in replacement batteries for the 2013 air. Otherwise, it is pretty much fine for most tasks. Though, not having the fan constantly cranking is nice!
