Hi all!
Very new to the whole apple ecosystem but have decided to buy a preowned air due to being seduced by the quick loading times and incredible battery life (nice to be able to quickly have lab notes and know I don't need to desperately search for a power socket half way through the day!).
The question I had is due to the fact I'm looking at three used Airs (all with low charge cycles and good internal condition) for £300 and would like some advice on what you lovely people would recommend, they are as follows:
- A 2015 Air 13" with 8gb of RAM, 1.6GHz Core i5 and a 128gb SSD
OR
- A 2013 Air 13" with 8gb of RAM, 1.7GHz Core i7 and a 256gb SSD
OR
- A 2014 Air 13" with 8gb of RAM, 1.5GHz Core i5 and a 256gb SSD (this one is more expensive at £320 and has a crack and missing bit of plastic in the hinge, which apparently is only cosmetic)
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I'm looking forward to joining this community (long time reader, first time poster)
Cheers,
