The MacBook Air is one of the brands of apple laptops. It was first introduced by Apple in 2008 and has since been developed with each generation, making each update or release more advanced than the previous one.
MacBook Airs are quite popular for the fact that they are extremely lightweight, have a long battery life, and have high resolution. This also makes it one of the best laptops for students. However, like all other MacBooks (or most products designed by Apple, to be honest) the Macbook Airs are quite expensive.
With the lowest prices being around $999. Is it worth the price?
How long do MacBook Air last?
If properly taken care of, your MacBook Air should last you a little over 5 years, 7 years tops. However, that’s not always the case. The actual lifespan of a Macbook Air or any other laptop, in fact, depends on how the machine is used and how carefully it’s handled.
Tasks that make heavy use of graphics or the central processing unit (CPU) will definitely shorten the lifespan more. This is simply because these tasks often rely on the system’s software, thereby needing more memory and storage.
For heavy uses, your MacBook air should last you about 4 years going on 5. For light uses, you can squeeze 7 solid years out of it.
