I need a laptop for school that lasts 8 h easily. And since windows laptops don’t do the trick i thought about a used macbook. Buyin an old one, maxing out RAM and SSD and be ready to go. Whats years of macbooks should i look out for? I want to do as cheap as possible. Its just used for google docs and for its battery life.

    Forget 2016-2019 Macbooks. Pre-2016 doesn’t have great battery life though still good computers with OCLP.

    Get Apple Silicon.

    And by that, i mean an M1 Air.

    And also, Windows allocates ram differently than macOS does. MacOS is much more efficient with ram. And don’t use Chrome (chromeisbad.com) , its one of the worst pieces of software next to Teams. So many other good browsers out there.
