[QUOTE="NG Mas, post: 1851704, member: 404596"] Hi guys first post here, I'm in the market for a base model MBA i3 8GB, I’m a super basic user, literally will just use the laptop for a bit of basic internet browsing, office, netflix, apple tv: that kind of thing, hence why i want to go for the base air. I understand that laptops don’t slowdown by themselves but apps and websites become more demanding over time etc. In light of my basic use, will the laptop remain relatively fast and snappy for 8-10 years for these basic tasks?? I appreciate after a while i wont be able to get all the system updates and the battery would probably need changing in that time frame. But purely in terms of my very basic needs can an i3 8GB remain relatively fast and snappy for these basic tasks for that sort of time frame?? Thanks a lot for any help ☺️☺️ [/QUOTE]
