My main household computer is an old-but-great 2011 Mac Mini on 10.13. I upgraded the RAM to 8gb and gave it an SSD and it runs really well, integrates with my modern iCloud devices and still runs Aperture.
I already have an 11" iPad Pro from work that I use as my portable computer and it satisfies 99% of my needs. However from time to time I am acutely aware that the device does not belong to me.
For this reason I have been debating buying an old 11" Macbook Air from a popular 2nd hand retailer here in the UK. I can get a 4,1 model with 4gb RAM for £100 or a 6,1 model for £135. The 4x model is High Sierra whilst the 6x model supports Catalina.
Does anyoe have these models and would you bother? I only really need it for writing on; im not bothered about Safari performance on the modern web.
