Lots of people will say this was a mistake. They are wrong.
You’re a student who doesn’t need a huge amount of computing power, so the specs are fine for you. This laptop was a great choice for this use case, because of the great screen, battery life and frankly stunning great big speakers. Most students don’t have TVs, so actually these benefits far outweigh sinking money into computing power that you don’t need. (Yes the air has great battery too, not the point here).
It’s unlikely that you’re going to really tax the processor/ram in this machine and it’ll provide an enjoyable media experience throughout your degree.
