That’s not great in terms of envisioning how the Air will fare in three or four years-even a “new” Air bought today is really two years out of date, and in four years it’ll be six years out of date.

So here are the facts about the MacBook Air: It was basically last updated two years ago-a “refresh” this June brought an imperceptibly faster processor, but it’s still part of Intel’s fifth-generation “Broadwell” series, two full generations behind the processors in the MacBook and MacBook Pro. While I was quick to recommend searching Apple’s refurbished Mac page, I was really pointing toward refurbished versions of the current MacBook and MacBook Pro (without Touch Bar) models, not the Air. So I searched my feelings about why I didn’t recommend the MacBook Air, and what I found is a nagging, unpleasant feeling about the fact that the MacBook Air isn’t Apple’s latest and greatest, but a holdover from a past era that’s only hanging around because it’s cheap. The MacBook Air has long been a huge seller and is a light, capable laptop at a great price. I got a lot of feedback asking me why I hadn’t recommended the MacBook Air, which remains Apple’s most affordable laptop at $999. Last week I wrote about the best Mac laptop to buy for a student, based on the fact that I’m often asked by friends to recommend a laptop for their kids who are off to college or high school or just need something of their own instead of completely taking over the family computer (or one of their parents’ laptops). The case for (and against) the MacBook Air
