Buy the new base model over this. The 10th gen i3 is faster than 8th gen i5. Plus new one has Iris graphics. That said 128gb is criminal
I could not agree with you more. 128GB in March of 2020 is disgraceful!!! How much does a 256GB SSD cost today. $30 if even that. Amazing that Apple is charging $900-$1200 this price for a non-removable hard drive. Hard Pass!
Those specs are sad as hell. I upgraded my Macbook Pro 2011 to 16gb ram and a 256gb ssd. I get that you trade off upgradeability/performance for portability but my god, the only thing that has going for it is the screen.
I have it because of my school, not sure but I know there were some workarounds for getting one but lots of businesses have switched to using a service that verifies your enrollment.

Ok, thanks. Luckily I have a .edu address to get the new one for $900.
Which is the best/fastest way to get a .edu?

Not sure what you mean. I asked and was told the newer model was better, i haven't really kept up with processors.
