Old MBPs are mentioned a lot on HN; I want to give a shout out to the MacBook Air. At home I'm still using an 8GB, mid-2012 MBA, and it feels just as responsive as my brand new 16GB MBA at work. I'm obviously not doing much to push it, but I'm getting away with web dev (Docker, multiple containers), browsing, watching movies, playing music, multiple desktops, etc without a problem. If this breaks before they fix the keyboard issue I'd seriously consider the last MBA with the classic keyboard, even if it's missing the retina display or Touch ID.
