Not sure about slowing down, but I'm afraid to update my mid-2012 rMacbook anymore. High Sierra crippled my external 32" monitor earlier this year; I spent a whole weekend downgrading it to El Capitan. Now my bluetooth devices stopped working right after Security update 2017-05 last week.
- j45 9y agoI generally have ended up staying 1 release behind the current MacOS for this reason while keeping up with security updates. Apple has a special talent of breaking what was working just fine. While I'm sure some of it is is very worthwhile improvements under the hood that doesn't get the appreciation it deserves, do the pros outweigh a laptop that no longer runs for me? The latest mbp's while looking great, have lead me to wonder if they are for technical creators/pros anymore.. The cpu is regularly at least a generation behind. A missing escape key is humorous, while I can remap my escape key to the ~ key if I had a touch bar.. The fact that there's no Apple made dock for a mbp's after a decade of having flawlessly operating docks with HP. Apple display doesn't cut it for everyone as a dock. Still I continue to use macos because it's the most usable linux/bsd out with respect to available apps. Maybe the Chromebooks will push on this front.
