What is amusing is that Apple build such good quality Macbooks now, people are keeping them for 5 years. My 2 and half year old MBP handles any dev task I throw at it fine, can't imagine replacing it for a couple more years at least. I also know a lot of gamers, they are happy playing at 1080p with 2500 or 3500 series CPU's as they are mostly playing CS:GO or Dota 2.
- azurelogic 11y agoI just refurbed my '09 13" MBP. New thermal paste, cleaned the intake/exhaust, new battery, replaced the battery indicator/sleep sensor (ribbon cable got damaged). All in: ~$70. It still has 8 GB RAM and an SSD from my previous upgrades. It runs El Capitan just fine, and the fan is barely audible. I'm going to be so disappointed when I eventually drop cash on a rMBP, knowing that I'll never be able to do all of that in the future.
