Oh man that'd be a deal breaker. Don't want Yosemite. I have my reasons
Could I mirror image my 2011 MacBook air (on 10.9.2, would be willing to update to 10.9.5 to be certain) to this if need be?
I'd be curious to know your reasons for requiring Mavericks. I'm using a refurb mid-2014 15 inch MBP with Yosemite without issues...
I doubt that mirroring another macbook's disk to the new one would work, nor do I think that AutoDMG would get you around the likelihood that the current refurbs with Yosemite have had their firmware updated to basically require Yosemite as minimum version...
If you really must have Mavericks, you may be forced into buying a 2nd-hand macbook pro... which is fraught with dangers...
It just isn't as smooth as Mavericks in my experience with it on 2011 13" air. Seems to be experienced with people on retina too. Not to say you have issues but it seems sloppy to me
all 2011 airs by default have SSD.
I appreciate it but I just don't care for Yosemite too much
Can you find me somewhere where updated firmware doesn't allow mavericks downgrade? I haven't found that in a quick search
I think autodmg 10.9 installer applying updates will work since mid 2014 models came with 10.9.4 out of the box.
I couldn't find anywhere that says the firmware update doesn't allow mavericks to run, just that people experienced odd behaviour with mavericks after downgrading from Yosemite
