Estimated Mac trade-in return time?
I've never traded-in a Mac. Usually they die or go to a family member. However this time around, I want to trade-in my late 2014 iMac towards a Mac Mini.

Macbook Air 2018 or Mac Mini 2018?
I want to migrate back to MacOS. I had a MBA 2011 and replaced it with Microsoft Surface Pro 4 2016. It's portable, but now I'm usually working in one place and find the Surface buggy. Plus, it's struggling to keep up (I think it's the 4GB RAM). Anyway, as I don't want to spend €2000 for a...- Rix1010
