MacBook Air 13″ (Early 2015) – Intel Core i5 – 8GB RAM – 256GB SSD – Silver

Overview

The 2015 MacBook Air is the peak of Apple’s “pre-USB-C” era, offering a perfect balance of portability and utility. Powered by a 5th Gen Intel Core i5 processor and a healthy 8GB of RAM, it remains surprisingly snappy for web browsing, document editing, and light photo work. Its iconic tapered aluminum unibody is nearly indestructible, and unlike newer models, it features the MagSafe 2 power connector, which breaks away safely if the cable is tripped over. While it lacks a Retina display, its LED-backlit screen is bright and power-efficient, contributing to its famous “all-day” battery life.

Key Features

• Rock-Solid i5 Performance: The Intel Core i5-5250U uses Broadwell architecture to provide a smooth experience for daily productivity while staying exceptionally cool.

• 8GB Onboard Memory: This was the recommended upgrade at the time, providing enough “breathing room” for modern web browsers and multitasking that 4GB models struggle with.

• The “Golden Era” Keyboard: Features the traditional scissor-switch keys, widely considered one of the most comfortable and reliable typing experiences in laptop history.

• Full Connectivity Suite: No dongles required. It comes standard with two USB 3.0 ports, a Thunderbolt 2 port, and a full-sized SDXC card slot for easy photo transfers.

• MagSafe 2 Power: The magnetic charging port provides both convenience and a safety net for your hardware.
