I have had a MacBook Air Mid-2012 since... 2012. Last year I bought new batteries online myself for like 80-90$. Replacing them took like 15 minutes by following a webpage linked in the battery package; it was idiot proof.

The new batteries have like at least 20% more capacity than the old ones ever had, and almost a year later are still going strong.

Couldn't been happier.

This Macbook Air mid-2012 is the best laptop I've ever had. I've been wanting to upgrade to a new laptop but I haven't been able to find one that makes the upgrade worth it. Paying 2000$ for 30% better performance isn't really worth it for me.
