"This is why I'm probably going to opt for a maxed out 2015 Macbook Pro. Yes, I know I'm paying for "old" hardware but I don't use VMs or compile anything heavy so it should last me a while. After selling my current one it should come out to about $1000 so not too bad." I just did this. I currently use a second-from-last generation 11" Macbook air and it works perfectly and I expect it to last another 2-3 years. However, I just purchased a refurbished latest-generation 11" macbook air, with maximum specs, to keep on reserve. Now I can put off these decisions for 5 or more years.
