I buy Apple computers precisely because I want a machine I can use for that long. I used my last Macbook Air for 11 years without having to replace anything, so was less wasteful than a person swapping out components every year. Its screen is toast so it's a headless server now.

Personally I upgraded a garbage 2011 MBP from an unusable state with a SSD (came with HDD)and ram extending it's life. I find it ridiculous that I can upgrade an ancient MBP's ram to more than comes with the current base spec.
- arvinsim 5y ago> Past Performance Is No Indicator of Future Performance Just because Apple computers before last a long time doesn't mean it will be the same with their current computers. Although my personal bet is that the 2016-2019 MBP will degrade faster than the 2020 M1 Macs.
