I got my current mac laptop in 2010... 👍🏼👍🏼
It's functional but I have no great faith that it will survive much longer. (Currently deleting music so that I have enough room to install a printer driver.) But the two things preventing me from getting a new one are the $ and how they took away all the ports, seriously, why the eff would you do that. I think I will have to get an older refurbished one.
The taking away the cd drive on the mb air was an easy and cheap enough fix with the external cd drive... but with the new ones, if you're in a creative career and need to connect a multitude of things, not so much. The bluetooth is just another thing to go wrong at a critical moment.
