Don't respond to the fake accounts in the comments! Please use your common sense. If it doesn't have the verified tick, it's not me! I am not asking anyone to contact me via WhatsApp. Report the scammers. Several people have been scammed already. Be careful!

My high school issued these to every student when I started freshman year. It was actually a fantastic daily use device and had incredibly good battery life. I would go 2-3 days without charging occasionally. It even had a better keyboard than my current 15” touchbar MacBook Pro. They were also incredibly durable and withstood heavy abuse. I’ve seen them bent, water damaged, shattered, and heavily dropped (like down flights of stairs) and continue to chug along. The only complaint I had was the absolutely terrible 1366x768 display which was disgusting even over half a decade ago.

We have one of these in our laptop fleet. Because it has 4GB of RAM, it's been moved into the "spare/backup" pile -- but it's been quite the lifesaver when we've had to send employees home to WFH if they popped a positive on their covid test.

I had a school-issued 11" MacBook Air many years back. They were fine, though the function keys were ridiculously small, and the screen was barely HD resolution. While most schools believe Chromebooks are the way to go because they're cheaper and more locked down, these machines are still good enough for most students, since they can do web browsing AND more, like editing video for class video projects for example.

I still use my 2011 2GB Macbook Air 11inch now and again. I love its size and the keyboard is still one of the best - pretty tactile. Battery was one of the things I needed to change and bought mine for about $300 bucks about 6 years ago.

Hope this will help
1. Don't use @
2. Don't say twitter
3. Don't use underscore
4. Don't make space for it
5. Just use - to indicate your twitter handle

That's what I can get to get the comments to get through.

Currently using one of these as my M1 air decided it didn't want to have a working screen anymore. This thing is a beast, its crazy that with such little ram it's able to handle all the browser tabs, documents, desktops, and displays I throw at it. It's also slightly embarrassing how much better the keyboard is compared to the M1 air (which cost 10x as much : /)

This little machine so reminds me of my own MacBook Air. I have the 2017 version of it, the last with the thicc bezels and the glowing Apple logo. It's happily streaming music in my living room all day. Keeps cool, doesn't crash. I just love it. 💓

I bought 3 MBA 11 2015 models. All had 8GB's of ram. I had bought a 4GB model but it wasn't really up for much. Just that little extra ram made all the difference. Plus the price. I paid from $85-$100 for each of them including shipping and tax. One needed a battery after a couple of months but they are so light! Better than working with my iPAd Air 5.

Been loving how compact it was the 11" inch little boy. Brings back the old times where we can still carry a laptop around ~

I still have an Early 2014 model of one of these that I got a while back as my first ever Macbook. It still works well, and I did a surprising amount of stuff on it, despite the 4GB RAM and the 128GB harddrive. It needs a new battery, though, which isn't hard to do.

From jamaica love your channel love computers but never could afford one

I had an 11 inch MacBook Air a few years ago and loved it.The keyboard was great to type on and it was so light and it was a joy to use overall. I’ve almost managed to replicate that experience with my iPad Air 4th gen and Magic Keyboard.

[trailblazercombi]

Makes me wonder how capable will the current M1 be 10 years from now...

[lincoln]

i have one of these! a 2013 base models what a little champion, ive been using it for 8 years and have had no issues, i plan on using it until it dies

[jorgerapalo]

It is impressive how well the hardware for these holds up even today. Great job as always with the clean-up and testing. Your example is encouraging me to try changing the thermal paste in my old laptops (something not usually done at maintenance places here in Honduras, Central America).

[percybrooks]

Using a 2011 one still. Good Service and still going. Not that smooth anymore but still going

Great travel machine, upgradable SSD, I have found a working logic board for it and was able to swap it to 8GB / i7 SKU. If you don't mind the 720p display, it's a solid secondary laptop, with great battery life. Make sure you get the last one that came out (Early 2015)

I'm going to college in the spring and this would be an excellent daily driver over my chromebook.

I just came across your channel - good content. I own the last version of the 11" MBA, and still have 2 great use cases for it; 1) note taking during office meetings in conference rooms away from my office (my MBP is hooked up to a OWC dock, so not convenient to undock), and using OneNote for notes, and 2) when I used to travel to China for work pre-Covid, I used it as a "burner" laptop in the very likely event that spyware got dropped onto it.
