It's really not that complicated and can be done in less than 10 minutes if the person knows what they're doing. If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, you could always purchase the new battery and then see if you can get someone to do it for you. When you purchase your new battery, make sure it comes with the necessary tools. Use your P5 on the ten screws and your T5 on the 5 screws for the battery. There are ten screws on the bottom of the computer and 5 that hold the battery down. You'll want to get a P5 Pentalobe screwdriver and a T5 Torx screwdriver. You will need two screwdrivers to open the case and change the battery and/or SSD. It will also be cheaper to do it yourself than taking it to Apple especially if your warranty has expired. If you want to replace the battery or SSD, you're better off buying replacements instead of a new Mac from Apple. My MacBook Air is performing well with High Sierra and Windows 10 Fall Creators. I always do this when new versions of macOS come out. If the system is a little slow, you may want to try a clean install. It does have 8 GB of Ram by default, but unless you're doing things that require a lot of Ram, 4 GB will work just fine. It doesn't really offer much of an improvement from what I can tell. The newest Air hasn't really been upgraded in about two years. What version of the 2013 Air are you using? I'm still running the 13 inch version with the core i5 1.3 ghz, 4 GB Ram and a 128 GB SSD.
