Yes, this aging M1 MacBook Air is five years old, but it will still support macOS Tahoe when it comes out this year. It features a 13.3-inch Retina display, Apple M1 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. It's old but still good enough for students and older folks, and it lasted nearly 14 hours in our battery tests.
