bump
looking for something to supplement my work computer, mostly for internet-based use (browser, spotify, google drive, etc.)
been using a chromebook mostly the last few years, but think i want something with a little more oomph and memory
i'm in pretty deep in the apple universe, i'm a little embarrassed to admit, so the 13" macbook air at $750 is my starting point, but I can be talked out of apple
what's good these days? are refurbs worthwhile?

Buy whatever can take 64GB+ of memory, buy the upgrade and then don't worry for a long time.

Get the 15" Macbook Air. Or go fancy with the 16" Pro (previous release or the new hotness).
ARM chips are where it's at. And you absolutely do not need 64GB of memory.
(Edited to correct the newer models of the pro since they are 14" and 16". I got the 14" originally but I like the 16" form factor better so I replaced it after a year. Best laptop I've ever owned).

I used that computer for 9 years. It still worked fine. The only problem was the weak battery life and I wanted to go ahead and get a new one before a grant ran out.
I've had the latest MacBook Pro for about 15 months.
