ive just cracked the screen on my air 4 It toppled forward whilst in its case and somehow caused a hairline crack. Really frustrating. Not big or deep just noticeable to me as I like to keep things nice and shiny.

ive been thinking about selling it and getting a bigger screen and really quite taken with the 12.9 pro.

thoughts. Is it worth repairing then selling the air 4? I’d imagine probably not. Maybe cost neutral at this point in its life. So keep for,spare or my kids?

I would trade it in with apple but I doubt they would give me much now that it’s cracked.

my main thought is whether I should go for the m1 12.9 or save about £300 and get a refurbished 2020 model which might be a bit more comfortable price wise.

my needs are pretty simple and I don’t do anything too intensive it’s just a bigger screen I’d really like. Also is the size something I will get used to as when i was handling it in the store it’s a massive difference in weight and size.
 
i hardly type anything to be honest so no need for the keyboard. so it’s really for browsing, video so think speakers will be a big upgrade and a bit of lightweight gaming.

is it worth repairing my air 4 and trying to sell?
from what I’m hearing you are saying 12.9 good and I’ll get used to it. The m1 is overkill so go for the 2020 model.
 
Thanks chaps. I think the 12.9 will be good choice. Price wise I’m not sure I can justify the extra cost when I won’t be pushing it that hard. I get that I’ll lose a year or so of so upgrades but at the moment ill be happy with a 5 year life.

just need to work out what to do with the air 4 repair as it’s a lovely bit of kit.
