Its rare for me to post threads these days, but hey ho.
Anyway, my question for the mac guys, I have a 2008 iMac (and a 2006 Powerbook), both going as I think its time to upgrade. I'm not looking at getting an iMac, due to desk space as I have more than enough desktops on my desk at the moment.
The 2 macs I've looked in question are the Macbook air (which my younger sister has) and the 2016 Macbook. I can live without the need for a USB port, so a single USB-C is enough and gives me the opportunity to charge it from another computer on the train. Now the issue I have, the variants I am looking at is either an M5/M7 macbook, or i5 or i7 Macbook air. I've been trying to determine which one is better for performance as one uses an older chip than the other and I can't seem to find benchmarking reviews comparing these 2. So, does anyone have any thoughts? The occasional T:ANE use would help too, even if a little slower.
