I think the OP meant the software update cycle not hardware.
- gw98 4y agoBoth actually. I replace hardware the moment the AppleCare runs out. I also tend to track near or at the latest versions of macOS. I factor in the cost on a monthly cost basis.
- LoganDark 4y agoI also had to replace my Mac when its AppleCare ran out, but only because it started having random issues with its keyboard and USB ports. Stinks of logic board issue, not worth paying to replace when it'll just break again. Still unhappy about that because nothing will ever live up to my mid-2015 MBP.
- gw98 4y agoThis is why I get rid of it the moment AppleCare is gone. I want someone else to handle the risk of it turning into a brick.
- LoganDark 4y agoThis is true. It's easier to migrate your data from a functional machine that you can still use as a reference. Personally my Mac still serves as a remote desktop server for when I need to do Mac things, but it's really infrequent because there is no remote desktop solution that properly supports the Retina display.
