[QUOTE="S.SubZero, post: 1649659, member: 51635"] If it works for you that is fine. Is it decent? Well.. That model has not changed at all since 2012. The screen is very low res, only the 11" Air is lower vertically (and the iPhone 6 Plus is higher). It's the heaviest laptop Apple currently sells (slightly more than the 15" Retina). It's the last thing Apple makes with an optical drive, so if you use discs still, score. Also note the 15" and 17" models of that form factor were discontinued some time ago. For me personally, in that general price range, I would have tried to find a 13" Retina with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. It would be substantially faster, significantly better looking display, lighter, and the mid-2014 models are on significant sale right now. [/QUOTE]
