There's not much to gain from a 2013 iteration notebook if you've already got SSD. Hold out for the 2017 refresh cycle and you'll get some pleasant perks. A four year old notebook isn't shameful any more. Intel's improvements have become mostly incremental in performance and steady in terms of power efficiency. The only thing to gain from a laptop lately is better battery life, not vast improvements in performance. I think people are stuck in this mindset that they've got to update their hardware every two years. You're not missing out on much, chill out and buy when you need to.
