I saw a store selling unopen Macbook Air 2015 and was wondering if it still relevant to use at this time.. been wanting to change device since my old laptop is almost broken.. the new macbook air is a bit too expensive.. I'm only going to use it for typing and browsing..so is it still relevant to use a 2015 macbook air at this year?

My Early 2014 MacBook Air which I bought in 2015 is still blazing fast with no issues whatsoever. Also running dual OS with Boot Camp   |

But for web browsing and typing I think it's fine. |

Still running a 2012 13" MBA, it's fine, I just need to change the battery one day hehe. If you're OK with the 11" display then go for it.
