I should have got the i7 so that I could use imessage and the calculator app.
Oh come on!
The i7 has a faster video subsystem, I think, but if nothing else, the model will have more "legs." I say buy the high end now, and it will pay for itself in 1-2 years more of future functionality that still runs well on that hardware.
I just bought a used i7 / 8GB / 512GB 2013 MBA and I couldn't be happier. I think it will last several years. Until they scrap Intel CPUs and move to ARM chips - I think that will happen. You?
You know it was sarcasm Nothing at all wrong with i7 if it's truly needed. Way too many users get way more machine than they need though. I think ARM is a possibility down the line. The technology will definitely be there, it's just a matter of if Apple wants to part ways with Intel.
Congrats on the new machine though, sounds sweet!
... They were gone and they never came back.while writing this, i only had Safari open with 5 tabs, and 3.5GB was gone...
Totally knew it was sarcasm, but you illustrate an interesting point. The guy I bought this MBA from (it has Applecare until June 2016 too - $900) was a biker that just thought he should max out everything. He paid $2200 for the damn thing. He sold it to me for less than half a year later. Had to jump on that.
So you're right. So many buy far more than they need. Me? I buy the best I can when it's a stupid good deal.
And yes, I'm REALLY liking the battery life on this beast. 12 hours is still about right, even though it's a year old. It had 50 charge cycles on it.
