It seem absolutely bizarre to me that a 2014 Mac wouldn't be usable for web browsing, I wonder how much of it is just a matter of taste, or if Apple are playing down-clocking games like they do/did on their phones?
My daily driver is a Core 2 Duo machine with 8GB RAM that's a full five years older than this. There are some outlier sites it doesn't handle well (Microsoft Teams is the only one I'd call close to unusable), and I do wait more for it than I do my work machine (2020), but honestly it's fine for almost everything I need.
- ghaff 4y agoI have a 2015 MacBook Pro and iMac. They’re perfectly fine for at least for browsing. The MacBook Pro has had a battery replaced along with a warranty screen replacement for a manufacturing defect. I did get a new Apple Silicon MacBook for image/video work and because I wanted a more loaded on the go machine for various. And my older Macs don’t support current OS releases. But the new system was something of a luxury. But to the article’s basic point I still have various old hardware laying around I should recycle as it’s really mostly taking up space. Maybe I’ll keep a few things but very little is either interesting or likely to be useful.
