At the moment there is no sense to buy a new laptop for several reasons.
First, what is happening in the laptop market, can be called the transition period. Many companies are experimenting with different form factors, trying to release a hybrid tablet / laptop can fully replace a laptop. There is also cheap enough Chromebook comfortable to perform basic tasks. However, none of the above cannot be called a replacement for the standard laptop or computer.
Second, now on the market of portable computers it is difficult to find a device with an excellent ratio price-quality. These laptops were released was in 2012, when the MacBook Air was still the new device. Even now, your old MacBook Air is a pretty good laptop which can cope with almost all tasks. So there is no point in spending money to buy a new laptop from the line of Air.
