Reporting from Aug 4th, 2023: Just ReFormated a Early 2015 Macbook Air with 128 GB Flash Storage and 8 GB Ram. MacOS used: Monterey I updated, installed every app i wanted, including my indexing my entire Photo Library. Then i thought about your upgrade: I bought EaseUS To Do Backup, Cloned my drive to a Silicon Power 2TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 2280 SSD. Bought the adapter ofcourse. Thanks for the attention to detail. Popped off old 128 GB Flash Storage Drive, added the cloned NVME+Adapter and Voila! Works like a charm. I am now going to download all my photos and videos from my iCloud just because i can. Thanks for the great video Brady, Easy to pull the trigger on this project. Im about to do the same to my sister in laws mac, and my wife's macbook air. All we do is photo viewing, sending generated memories, and light word processing.

I’m thinking of getting a refurbished 2015 macbook air. Seems like a good choice as it’s cheaper and I just need a laptop for school. I know the new macbooks are really great.. but as a student, saving that extra few hundred dollars means a lot. Do you think this laptop will suffice in 2022? Softwares and everything. Any problems like slow loading etc?

You can grab a cheap 2015 MacBook Air on back market. I snagged a 2015 11in air for $200 but it was in fair condition. A little more gets you one in better condition. Not the best in terms of hardware but it runs the latest Max Os but windows 10 is much faster. For my needs it’s perfect.

I‘d highly recommend getting an M1 MB Air for just a slightly higher price - better display, better speakers, better battery life and especially a way faster processor. Also the OS is still supported and will be for some years to come. The Intel-MBAs are just obsolete, especially the ones with the old TN-panels (silver bezels).

Nice video. I've owned several of that form factor (2010, 2012, 2015 2x). All 11.6" models. I love the portability, and the 2015 11.6" Air is still a good basic task machine. I did spring for i7 models in the 2012 and 2015 units, as it gave a little more oomph to some of the AV tasks that I was doing with them. The i5 is fine for most folks. 8G is a must. While 4G was available back then, the 4G models can struggle.

I have the MBP Early 2015 version 512gb ssd, i5 dual core 8gb ram handed down to me by my bro in law for free. What's surprising is this 7 yr old laptop is only at 510/1000 charge cycles when I got it so the battery was still fine. I just had it cleaned and repasted and it runs good enough for basic tasks (web browsing, emails, streaming netflix) I'll also remove the anti glare film with alcohol to make the screen better. I love the hdmi port since it makes it flexible as a media source.

Just ordered 2017 version from Mac of all Trades, biggest thing I need it for is editing in iMovie and then burning a DVD on external burner. I have a late 2019 27" mac, which the fan on it makes so much noise I have to wear headphones to edit. Tried support but no one can seem to solve it, had I waited a few more months I could have got the M1 iMac and not had this issue and save a lot of money! Anyway I hope it will do the job, paid 1/2 the cost of M1 basic laptop. Any comments are welcome, hopefully before return window expires since it was just ordered!

I recently bought the same MacBook Air with a faulty battery for 160€. Then I paid 60€ for a new battery. Now when I use the MBA unplugged it shuts down with around 20% battery left (used to be around 30%). I guess I still need to recalibrate it by completely draining and then charging the battery in one go.

I even do some work with it (Jetbrains IDE's and some Lightroom picture editing etc). All good all fine. These laptops are around £200 on ebay now. If you can find a good 8GB one it would be good enough for daily use just fine in my opinion.

I am stuck between getting the 2015 or 2017 model. Is there really a huge difference between the two?

here in Peru people ask for 1000 usd for an used macbook air... with the old 2010-2017 design

@Gearsandco 2 жыл бұрын

I think you can for the same price you can get your hands on a mid 2015 13 inch Macbook pro which has a better screen and better performance. But don't get me wrong the Macbook Air is good still.

I also use a 28" 4K monitor and I pickup a macbook air 2017 yesterday and the screen is the only thing that bothered me hahaha. I picked it up for $430 I'm outside the US so used goods here are a bit more expensive, but overall it's a nice purchase, the webcam and speakers are surprisingly very good.

Great minds think alike eh? 😂 I love my monitor and I’m content with 4K rather than 5K like other video editors. That’s still a great deal though considering the state of global electronics markets during chip and part shortages. Congrats on your purchase!

how is it at a 4k monitor? what refresh rate do you get?

@ClipPlayTV Жыл бұрын

It’s excellent. Still using it today. It’s 60hz if you use a DisplayPort 2.0 cable setup which is plenty.

@Martschy Жыл бұрын

@@ClipPlayTV ok so you can also stream 4k onto external TVs or Monitors without a Problem? Does it use its cooler then or stay silent?

These Macs aren’t upgradable anymore… tried doing the “SSD” upgrade on my 2017 MacBook Air 128gb to a 1tb SSD… and Apple did a patch that it won’t let the SSD program to your MacBook.. good luck to whoever is trying to do it now

I’m a Windows and Android user. I’ve always been. The only Apple devices I own are a couple of old ipods because they were the easiest way to get all my music into some of my previous cars. But now with Spotify and more powerfull processors in car entertainment systems these iPods became obsolete and are collecting dust unfortunately. I am however getting a little curious about what all the fuzz is about when it comes to Apple and Mac OS. Is it really that much better than Windows? So I’m thinking of buying one of these 2015 MacBook Airs. They seem to be the cheapest way to still get a pretty decent Mac OS experience. If I hate it I can probably sell it for what I paid for it. If I love it, who knows..?
