In February my daily driver machine for development, VMs, "normal work", etc. will begin it's tenth year.
It's a 2009 Mac Pro. I don't notice any slowness or issues. Have not needed to replace anything. Have not upgraded beyond the original 8GB of RAM.
I just loaded El Cap on it this past year (latest OSX release it will take without a firmware upgrade) and plan to continue using it for years ...
- nonamenoslogan 8y agoI'm in the same boat with my circa-2010 Macbook Air. Its still supported as it has an i5, but its ancient by today's standards. Still holds a 3+ hour battery charge on its original cells though, boots in under 20 seconds on SSD (running 10.12 on it, haven't taken the High Sierra plunge), and everything on it works. I'd love to have more RAM and a retina display but tbh, it ain't broke so I'm not replacing it and when/if I do, it will likely be replaced with the 2016 version that just upgraded the RAM and I'll use it for another decade.
