WANTED: 2017 12" MB or 2015 11" MBA

[Black]

Still looking to replace my sometimes fussy and now left behind 2011 MBA... if you're sitting on one of the last gen 11" Macbook Airs or one of the last gen 12" Macbooks that aren't getting used, please think of me.

Well, apparently I am hoarding these machines (thought I would need a supply of them for my mom, who was stuck on a particular OS due to certain software and really liked the tiny size, but she finally decided she only needed the software on her desktop so we transitioned her to an M1 Air).

2015 MBA 11" - 1.6GHz i5, 4GB, 120GB, 230 cycles on battery, 4518mAh remaining (I don't actually know why I have this one, I know my mom used to have this era computer, and I had bought a parts machine or 2 to repair hers at one point, so I might have cobbled this one together from the leftover parts).

2017 MB 12" (Rose Gold) - 1.3GHz i5, 8GB, 500GB, 109 cycles, 5095mAh remaining, pretty clean screen with some minor keyboard edge marks.

^ Those are the ones that are "ready to go" today.

The following, I'm probably going to do some work on:

2017 MB 12" (Space Gray) - 1.4GHz i7, 16GB, 250GB, 537 cycles, 3569mAh remaining, very clean screen *

2017 MB 12" (Space Gray) - 1.3GHz i5, 16GB, 500GB, 290 cycles, 4868mAh remaining, more obvious keyboard marks (when display is off, not as visible when it's on) *

* I have an iFixIt battery I was going to swap into one of these and keeping the other good Apple battery, and possibly swap the displays, so that I would keep the i5/16GB/500GB with the cleaner display and whichever battery I decide on, depending on how much work that all is.

I've got a max spec 2011 i7, 4GB/256GB, 13" MBA (that I got for Baby Buzz's college career back then) w/ a totally dead battery...... was gonna put a new battery, and a new 512GB or 1TB SSD in it and use it for my two days every three weeks infusion accompaniment, to supplant my newer 12.9" iPad Pro that has been my go to stalwart for the last 5 years, or so. Before I got around to sprucing up the old MBA, lit'l bro gave me his full spec 2014 13" i7 MBA, making the 2011 MBA expendable.

I know it's not the 11" MBA requested, but it's the correct vintage, and works OK off the power adapter, so I'm assuming it oughta be back in business w/ the planned upgrades. If ya still need something, LMK if it'll work fer ya.

I thought the rarity of the old i7 might tempt ya, but Gareth's newer gear is definitely sized right.
