        I actually see those in airports with some frequency, and I’m always struck by how much more sleek and futuristic it looked years ago than new models now. Yes that came with issues, and the thing was slow, but without keyboard jams and an M3 processor it would be very quick and ultra portable.

        I’d consider the same, so long as it also had mag safe or at least a 2nd usb port. family member had one with a failing usb port (data only, though it would still charge), and all apple could do was send it to depot for a board replacement. this of course wiped the drive… the issue at hand was that due to data not working, their time machine backup was nearly a year old… non techy, so they didn’t know or expect any of that, just signed off saying “yes, I have a backup”, not even thinking of how old. adding a 2nd port would significantly reduce strain on the one and only port available for the machines power and data.
