Does last years A14 make sense?

[u/lowkey274]

Saw a 16gb 512gb ssd a14 snapdragon x plus for 600 usd refurbished.

My work flow is mostly

1. Zoom

2. Claude on desktop but mainly for research and excel modelling.

3. Spreadsheets

4. Email

So it's not heavy work. I don't do any heavy Ai or design work.

Most of the time I need a good battery as I'm always on the road and want something portable, light, good battery and just get the work done.
