I bought one of the refreshed ones in 2016 as a sort of "I want something like an iPad but I just can't tolerate not having a real keyboard and OS" thing and was super pleased with it. The size was really so good—great on a plane, so light I never thought about it in my bag. I took it all over for years. Wrote a little iTunes library export tool in the back seat of a minivan on the drive from NYC to Maine right after I got it^. It's nice to have an actual laptop when traveling rather than just a phone or tablet, but even a little bit bigger and heavier can be annoying. My wife still uses it for web browsing and has only just recently started to mention it being unusably slow (it was never fast, but it was passable). I have an M1 Air now but would absolutely prefer something a bit smaller. ^ https://github.com/drien/itunes-to-sql https://github.com/drien/itunes-to-sql
