I recently bought a 2017 Macbook Air with the refreshed CPU and it's a great machine for the price.

Yeah, the screen is old, but it's not that big of a deal IMO.

Eh, I've crossed into retina-land. There's no going back, hehe.

The wife has a Macbook Air I believe from 2013. Swapped in an SSD upgrade some time ago, still kickin.

The DPI is not so bad. It's not retina, but at 128 DPI it's decent.

The biggest issues IMO are ghosting and color gamut, but I don't really care for using Sublime or browsing Reddit and HN. The MBA is not my main machine anyway.
