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.
@@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.
@vikramaditya8550 its not. You can easily replace ssd. It's nvme form factor but little bit different. You have to buy m.2 converter which is very cheap. Then you can replace your ssd with new one. Use internet recovery to install latest system softwere. viola...

However, its 2023, and and you're better off with an M1 or something similar. This MacBook Air is 6 years old at least, and I would only use it for basic office and school work.
I bought the same Macbook Air in 2020 from the Apple store Refurbished section for school. I’ve had it 3 years still have apple care on it and used it for everything lectures, notes assignments, exams and watching shows. I love that it has all the ports and uses the magnetic charger.
As a 16 year old and starting to go to college, I bought this laptop and I’m very happy. I’m gonna use it for my general work and plus I have a windows pc. I’m quite happy about my purchase and hopefully will upgrade in a few years time.
The reason why the screen is so bad on the 2017 MacBook Air is because Apple was attempting to kill the MacBook Air back then via not upgrading its specification.
That might be right. They even said in the 2016 keynote that the non-touchbar MacBook Pro was the perfect upgrade for MacBook Air users. Thankfully they didn’t really kill the Air
@@iTWI My guess is that they wanted too because of the 12 inch macbook that they wanted to become mainstream instead because of all of the engineering they put into it.
I had this MacBook, bought back in 2018 held up pretty well, then I exchanged it for a gaming laptop Legion 5 (2020, AMD), now I’m planning to sell my legion and buy this second hand again 😊

@@GreyFoxling Of course they will last longer. Change the Thermal paste and the SSD with an adapter. 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.
bought this one second handed recently. Still works amazingly well and the battery life is okayish (4-5 hrs probably) when doing general things like web surfing or editing documents etc. And it gets charged up really fast like within 20 mins it gets charged upto 30-40%. No regrets so far :). Btw how much can you upgrade this laptop?
At 1:15 how did you get the silver bit around the screen (is that the bezel) to look so nice (it appears to be black)? Is it a sticker and if so where from? Thank you 😊
The MacBook Pro 2017 has better performance, better screen and better trackpad but I wouldn’t recommend it because it has many design flaws and tends to be unreliable. And the keyboard on the Pro is very uncomfortable
I've just bought this but haven't collected it yet. Would you say its okay for uni? I only need a laptop to take notes, make PowerPoint presentations, write word docs and browse the web. Hopefully it'll be decent if I upgrade it to the latest MacOS.
@@iTWI I got it! It works perfectly. But I'm currently trying to load the Sonoma beta onto it 😂. My theory is if it can run Ventura (which it can) it can also run Sonoma but I guess I'll find out haha.
My opinion is that they wanted to sell iPad Pro’s instead of that smaller MacBook and also they released the 12” MacBook. They were both awful replacements for the 11” MBA
I have had mine for like 4 years but i still use it for my computing classes. So i can run Android studio to run an android simulator while watch UA-cam videos at the same time with multiple tabs/windows open although too many demanding tabs can cause it to drag.

I had this MacBook last year and for working was excellent, the battery sucks maybe if u buy one in 2024 u have to change it for a brand new battery and the 128 gb sucks too but for the price u can get that is a excellent MacBook
I wish I could buy a newer model, but my country uses a specific exam system that does not work on macbooks made after 2017. Doesn’t allow startup from an USB flash drive :/
I keep finding them for around $360 USD (for the 256gb SSD). Do you think that’s too much? I can’t decide if I should get this or a later one… or even a new 2023 Air. I only really need it for general web use, printing stuff, some online classes… nothing too serious.
Please help me to choose between MBP 2019 8/128 for $599 or MBA 2017 8/128 for $366 Its actually in Indonesian Rupiah For daily use such as writing, zoom meeting, Photoshop, Illustrator and web surfing Both are in good condition with cc below 800
I expect this to last at least for the next 5 years or so, I just think that hence the power of the pro for video editing and music mixing, 128gb sounds... not right. So in this case should I go for MBA instead and keep doing harder job on windows PC?

will it be able to do browsing watching web series word excel and coding and app development ??
Web browsing, netflix and video streaming, word and excel are all gonna work great. I can’t say for sure about app development but some other people in the comment section said it also works.
Just a tip: use safari instead of Chrome as it will save battery and run faster
Is good with photoshop and illustrator?
Can’t recommend it because of the screen. you should get the 2015 13” Macbook pro
I have been looking into these, I found one for about €170, is this a good price?
Yes, absolutely
PLUG Has it for US $199 good condition
100 dollars on Facebook a decent deal? It has OS Monterey
Absolutely, but be careful and don’t get scammed
Can I make music on it tho
Good luck
@@benykangNever had experience with that but I’d say yes
Is it good enough for Reality Composer?
I honestly don’t know
@@iTWI thanks anyway
Is this APPLE AIR MQD32LL/A | CORE I5-5350U 1.8GHZ?
Correct
@@iTWI 🙏🏻
apple should have made a under the trackpad touch ID sensor oh wait they are going to wait for other companies to do that and buy their product for research and than copy it
To be honest, ergonomically speaking the Touch ID on the keyboard works great. An under trackpad sensor is a cool concept but would also cost a lot
i regret selling this in 2019
I need help with a laptop trynna get something affordable to just record some music on my budget is probably like 6-700
then get the M1 Macbook Air
can it be used for coding
yes i’ve heard from other comments it can do coding but nothing too intense
Can i use Photoshop on this?
Yes light photoshopping should be fine but if you plan to use photoshop maybe the MacBook Pro 2015 is a better option
