Apple is also one of the companies most responsible for this I-can't-fix-it-let-alone-upgrade-it garbage. Do you want to support a company that's creating a large amount of the problems, too? I'm still running an HP Pavilion from 2008 that's got a GPU strapped to it and an external monitor connected to that. It's actually capable of playing games now, (esports titles, such as CS:GO, run perfectly fine on there), but part of that is because it has a quad-core i7 mobile CPU that more or less equates to a lower-tier i5 or higher tier i3. I also have a little 14-ish inch laptop made by the same manufacturer at the same time (it has an AMD CPU) that runs really slowly even though it has an SSD in it. I also have a bunch of stuff laying around that I don't use- such as a FX-era computer with a dual-core machine, that's not even worth the trouble of setting up, and a Pentium III machine that I don't even bother with because ugh. There's a balance to be found between not wasting things, and not wasting money keeping them running- if your car is constantly breaking down, it might be time to send it to the junkyard and get a new one, but for heaven's sake, please make sure that wherever your trash is going there aren't going to be abused workers dealing with it. why do you think going with another laptop vendor would be better? There is an entire community of people running old ThinkPads and repairing them and upgrading them, because they are well-thought-out products that can withstand life, meanwhile dropping your macbook means that you've probably broken your screen and getting the full device replaced is going to be cheaper.
