Got back from work and was expecting maybe a couple of replies but to get so much info has been very very useful. I realised that I should have been more clear, i think I confused everyone with my use of the term “fast and snappy” sorry about that lol, i think what i really meant to say was “useable”. My current windows laptop is definitely unusable, it takes about 10 minutes to boot up and then if i try to open up chrome or a basic application it can take a good 20-30 seconds just to open, i may have to wait a good few seconds when clicking on the “file” or “edit” icons to open on my word processor which is so annoying lol. My current laptop works but is not what i would consider useable. I think what I’m looking for is for a good 8+ years for the MBA to not take too long to boot up when turned on, to not take ages to open up basic apps like office or safari, if i’m watching something on netflix or youtube then (internet permitting) for that to run relatively smoothly, if I’m using something like word then for the very basic functions like opening the file icon to still be kind of fast i guess. Essentially i want the laptop to not become annoyingly slow for everyday tasks and for it remain just quick enough to a reasonable level where it won’t be considered annoying.The point some of you have made about getting as much as my budget can afford makes a lot sense, i’m a relatively new uni graduate and just started my first job a few months ago, i could go a bit north of £1000 but if a base MBA can cover my needs and can remain useable for that sort of time period then i would much rather prefer to spend that extra money on something else.Thanks again everyone for all your advice!!</blockquote>
