It's a shame the new OS won't run on my machines because they're all still running strong. I figure I still have a year and a half to two years with Catalina anyway, so no big deal.
To the OP, if you're not a power user, go for it now. Sounds like you won't need the power of the new chip anyway. Just avoid the deals on the 2019 models.

Yeah, I've put it off cuz of the numerous complaints about the keyboards and I think they were using the 7th or 8th gen intel core. Glad they remedied these with the refresh.

You have something else going on.
A fresh install will do wonders, if you decide to keep.
Also if you decide to sell it send me a pm. I need the larger screen.

Went on their site and looks like i can trade it in for a bit of credit so I'm wiping it and sending it in. Problem is the stores are closed and estimated delivery is mid July if I order now.

So doesn't make any sense yours would be slowing down unless there is something wrong with it.
Also doesn't the macbook air start at $999?

Yep, I can configure it to an i5 for $1099. Hopefully it'll last me another 10 years and I'd be thrilled.
