The reason was because it was annoying, since being transparent, all the external light passed through to the screen from behind, making it not be seen correctly

The distances between points are very far and it’s not uncommon for someone living in the rural USA to drive 30-50k miles a year. 50-70,000 KM per year.

I got myself an 11” inch MacBook Air 2015 with 8GB RAM and 256GB ssd in 2018 for $450 on eBay (nowadays you can still get them for around $250-300). Still using it now in 2022 for basic task like web browsing, music, content consumption, document editing and light gaming on Steam. Those things are awesome (it can run Monterey - sadly that’ll be the last supported MacOS version). Battery down to 80% capacity but I think I will replace the battery and it would give at least 2-3 more years of use out of it.

My day-to-day Mac until recently was the last iteration of that old design with wide silver bezel, except 13-inch version, from 2017. It runs latest MacOS (Monterey) well and never felt slow to me for doing the things I do on a Mac… Until I started using my M1 MacBook. Now it feels somewhat slow in comparison, and its not-Retina screen doesn’t look as good. But it’s still very usable; I like the old-school USB ports, TB2/DisplayPort, MagSafe, plus SD card slot. I plan to do what you demonstrated… Connect to a large display and use it as a desktop Mac most of the time. So thanks for showing that your older model does fine with everyday tasks.

I use a 13" M1 Air and love it. What an amazing machine. But I also still have and use my i5 mid-2012 Mac mini (8GB + SSD upgrade) as my desktop computer. Of late I mainly use it as a dual-boot Linux machine with Linux Mint running most days because pretty much everything runs so smoothly and it's better with RAM. That said, I can and do boot MacOS on it whenever I need to run Mac-only software. I even use Windows on it, in VirtualBox, to run TurboTax (Windows only app). Really great how well a 10-year old device can still get a lot of useful things done. 👍

My wife used to have this exact little laptop until I bought her an M1 MBA and got her to upgrade. But that old MBA was a champ. It fit in her purse and could do all the normal office work and web browsing. She used to Lightroom on it too and that was a struggle. And edit our church videos which would take 12 hours to render a 1 hour sermon. If Apple ever brings back the 11” MBA with Apple Silicon I think it would be a huge hit. Although an M1 iPad Air would work too if you could just run MacOS on it.

I took your advice and bought the 2020 MacBook Air with the M1 Chip for a sale price on Amazon for new of $749 before taxes. I want you to know that I am very pleased with my purchase. I bought a case for it right away and a fan mat for my lap. I thought it would help it stay cool. But now I have to purchase a hub for it as the fan can't connect since it doesn't have one of those portals on it. On my Asus Chromebook, it works great since that Chromebook gets very hot even with fans. Not all the time but when I'm on it for 6 or more hours. I was able to put my VPN and antivirus software on it without too much trouble. The battery life is amazing. I charge my Asus a couple of times when I'm up and working on it. I treat it so carefully to make sure the battery is taken care of. I have to get used to the Apple ecosystem. Thank you again for your information regarding the 2020 MacBook Air M1 chip!

I'd argue that the 2015 MBA 11 is a much better deal given the bump to 5th gen Core processors and graphics. You ought to try doing a video edit with it to really put it through its paces.

Those MacBooks aren't really that good anymore as they cant be updated to big sur or even Catalina or Mojave natively (the average person wont know how to patch it) The MacBook Air is newer, thin and light and more modern looking and faster. Sure the 2009 and 10 macbook pros might have higher GHz but the i5 in the MBA would outperform it due to having 4 threads.

@@TheEverydayDad It arrived today. It looks good. It was as advertised. I upgraded it to Monterey. Seems to be functioning fine right now. The charger is marked up, but it is an Apple charger. It is a 2017 with 8GB RAM and 128 SSD.

@@TheEverydayDad think Intel® Core™ i5-5250U is 64 bit? I’ve got an 2011 iMac and it’s miles ahead - starts nearly instantaneously and no lag. Sure, I have to wait a second or two for an app like Numbers to start but anyone who used a Windows laptop would appreciate how much faster it is. Also still supports the latest macOS.
