My work laptop is an m1 16/500 and I’m not remotely concerned about an upgrade. It continues to perform well in virtually any circumstance. Ironically, the only place I’ve seen it have any trouble (take longer than I think it should) is Swift Playgrounds.

My personal machine is a 2014 13” MBP. I’m eager to replace it with an Apple Silicon machine, but that requires justifying the expense to my wife, and frankly that Laptop continues to do just fine.

Similar situation for me - 2015 13" MBA - but it's myself I need to justify the expense.... the old MBA does everything I ask...

The NVME adapter for the 2013-2017 MBA is pretty neat. Upgrade to 2TB for under $100.

The biggest thing i noticed is the write speeds went from 350 to about 1500. Read speeds are about the same.

10 hour battery life. Not glued in and quick to replace.

A1466 MBA (2013-2017) is one of the best laptops ever made IMO.

I’ve been thinking about replacing my SSD. This is a solid laptop. With OpenCore patcher it’ll (Probably) last as long Apple makes builds for Intel - another 5 years or so.
