Hello! I have the opportunity to buy one of these macbooks. I was wonder which is more bang for my buck and would last me longer. I would like to use for around 5 years. I am using the macbook mostly for browsing, PDFs, watching movies, editing gopro videos. I am upgrading from a 2015 Macbook Air. It gets sluggish when I open a lot of tabs. I have a horrible habit of having too many tabs.

  • 8GB RAM
  • 256 SSD
  • Core i5 2.3 GHz (Kaby Lake, 15 W)
  • Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640
2018 Macbook Air 13" $650
  • 8GB RAM
  • 128 SSD
  • 1.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
  • Intel UHD Graphics 617

2019 Macbook Air 13" $750
