Seriously though. My 2013 Air is the best computer I've ever owned. Thankfully I had the foresight to buy the 256GB model back then. I replaced the battery 6 months ago and it's back to its original capacity and still runs like new. It's getting Mojave so it's going to have the latest software until at least the end of 2019, and MAYBE even a year after that depending how generous Apple wants to be with supporting 7 year old hardware in 2020. I will continue using this computer until most accessories and flash drives come in USB C form and I get annoyed because I need reverse dongles to use them with my old fashioned USB ports. This machine is truly 100% Macintosh in every way, if that makes any sense.

I must confess I struggle to use 128GB in a laptop and even then I frequently have 2 other OSs on the same drive. For me I find that if I need massive storage then micro-SD cards are the way to go as you can get 128GB ones now which give sustained write speeds of 60MB/sec for only 30 bucks. Even 200GB micro SDs are breaking 60 bucks.
