I'm still using a 2013 MacBook Pro as my primary dev machine. Works as well as it did when I first got it, even switching to 100% remote work. I'm astonished. I've never said, "Gee I wish this was faster." All I had to do was replace the battery three years ago.
Compare this to the PC craze from 1990 to ~2005 where you literally had to buy a new machine every 1~2 years to keep up. (My company's IT dept updated our PCs every 18 months.)
Those days are long gone. Good riddance.
- incanus77 5y agoSame here (late 2013) until a few weeks ago when I got an M1 mini. Half because my battery started swelling (again) and I need to send it in, and half because I wanted to start experimenting on ARM Mac. I mean, it’s incredibly fast and quiet, but my MBP was really keeping up still.
