@matigo Exactly my attitude! I always keep a machine running for as long as possible, which is why I waited 9 years to get my current MacBook Air. ?
I'm actually looking at getting a better display for it, believe it or not. Something IPS and full HD. Have found a few LCD panels that appear to be compatible, but I need to research some more before I'm convinced.
Honestly, the WXGA resolution is fine, but I want to push on and make the last generation MacBook Air 11" something truly special and unique. At least my machine.
Since it's barely 2 years old, the battery is holing up very nicely still, but internal storage is where I would really want to improve things.
