[QUOTE="IdánShir, post: 1871617, member: 406628"] Hi, So about 2.5 years I ago I purchased the 13inch 2017 MacBook Pro base model without a Touch Bar. While the experience has been good, there were glaring flaws that were present in everyday use: —The abominable butterfly switch keyboard would sometimes requiere more force due to dust. —Heating issue —sometimes slow performance while using basic applications like Safari. —Battery was overall underwhelming coming from a MacBook Air. My battery seems to be enjoying its last cycles and I'm in need of a replacement. Also I'm almost out of internal storage is in use (128gb). However, now that the new M1 MacBooks are out, and given that it seems to solve all of the aforementioned issues and appears to be really future proof, I'm really tempted to get the Air. Should I replace my Pro's battery and keep it going, or just go for the M1 Air? P.S I'm a literature student and requiere very little out of my machine.The most intensive app I use is Zoom, which hopefully will be unnecessary in a few months. [/QUOTE]
