Except get security updates that are only ever packaged in newer OS releases, for one thing.
I get where you're coming from, but this is the fundamental problem with network-connected devices. I'm an Apple fan, of sorts, and my whole family is part of the Apple ecosystem, but the company has a nasty habit of strategic obsolescence and doubly so around transitions.
- sneak 6y ago$500 will get you an Air that will run the latest macOS, with all current updates. You can get a ten year old Air (that will not) for $100-200. It will also run the current version of the Linux kernel.
- sigjuice 6y agoBoth Mojave and Catalina support MacBook Air models from 2012.
- IggleSniggle 6y ago2012 is only 8 years ago tho
- SyneRyder 6y agoI'm giving this an upvote, because I have a MacBook 1,1 from 2006 that runs Windows 10. That's 14 years of support & security updates from Microsoft, and they didn't even make the device.
- foobiekr 6y agoYeah, I know, but Big Sur is around the corner.
