    I bought this laptop back in 2018 for college and it still works great to this day. It has about ~600 charge cycles but the battery still works really well. Might have to get a new one in a few years if the battery gets bad. This laptop held up well for so many years.

      You could always have a battery replacement done for cheep or even do it yourself for less and then you could use it again like new, I did that and it is absolutely amazing and 100% worth it.

      Yes I've done it too, I found one at my local garbage collection center in a pretty good state apart from a burned corner. I gave it to my little brother who was very about having an apple laptop, didn't care about how old it is.
      And the battery cost like 30$ 40$ max

    Here are a few tips to keep this macbook running for awhile, make your own upgrades to it, replace the battery for cheep, use an external display when you can because of the screen (obviously unnecessary) , and upgrade it to the latest version of macos using opencore patcher. It would be the perfect macbook.

      @lincolnflick7535 Рік тому +1

      @@GlennUpgraded I’m thinking that it would be MacOS Catalina because it still has all of the software support and features of the newer versions but isn’t as heavy and will run best on those olde devices. When it comes to upgrading to newer versions of macOS via opencore, performance is actually pretty good with some chugging here and there.

      Hi Lincoln, i know your post a a year old, but would still appreciate a Feedback. Would you still recommend to upgrade the MacBook Air 2017 from Monterey to the latest Version ? What benefits would i get from the update. Don't you think it would slow down the Laptop tremendously ?I am still currently using it and would like to do so for a couple more years. Thanks alot !

    Macbook really is the perfect choice for long term use. I use Macbook pro 2012 for 5 years, then I buy MacBook air 2017 and it's still works fine in 2023 I never have a problem at all and i add the ssd from 128 to 512gb. I choose to change the ssd and stay with this one bc i fall in love with the glowing apple logo, too bad the new one doesn't have that anymore.

In the meantime, piles of dead M Series MacBooks are stocking up because they have soldered SSD. Once their SSD dies, the whole machine dies. Not the case with 2010-2017 MacBook Airs. They may outlive us once SSD upgraded with a current one.

      I have 582 cycles on Monterey and it lasts about 5-6 hours of productivity use. I’d recommend you to download Coconutbattery to check the battery health and maybe check on activity monitor if you have some apps draining your battery. Also if you use chrome, then it’s gonna drain much faster
