So I am buying my first MacBook of any kind. I don't need anything too fancy. I will mainly use it for documents and spreadsheets and logging into my work network server.
Best Buy has the 2015 MacBook Air for $699 or I can get the 2017 for $999. Is there anything that makes it worth an extra $300 for someone with my needs? Ultimately I'll pass this on to my daughter and get a new one in a couple years when she goes to high school. Thanks for the help!
