Hi, I'm thinking of getting an older, cheapish Macbook Air for my son to do home work on (word, google classroom, teams etc).
In 2015 I had a 2013 Macbook Air at work, and the thing was an absolute dream to use. Reliable 12 hour battery life, fast, responsive. Pretty much perfect for my usecase at the time and now in virtually every way.
However, my experience of Apple products makes me wary to touch anything a few years old, as everything I've had from themhas been nerfed in some way by them - especially iPads. (Except, an old iPad 1. Which never had an update and still runs as quick as the day it was released - but is nerfed due to lack of support).
Are the older (say 2013 macbook airs) still useable today? Do they now feel sluggish?
