I’m working with a maxed out M1 MacBook Pro and I can’t imagine it being obsolete any time soon. Apple might not sell me a computer for several years, but I spent far more than I would have otherwise. Assuming all goes well, I’ll probably do the same thing when I do buy again.

    My two 2015 vintage Macs are fine as browsers but wanted a fairly loaded Apple Silicon MacBook with a big SSD for various reasons.

    Why do you think they haven’t updated the OS and browser? Also, how can you patch a zero day?

      Apparently according to online sources, the latest OS supported on a 2010 iMac is macOS Mojave, and the latest security update for Mojave was released in 2021.

        Later versions of macOS can be installed on older hardware than is officially supported by Apple, by using OpenCore Legacy Patcher: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/ https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/
