TBF I had the Macbook from 2015 before I felt like upgrading to the M1 in 2021. You usually buy Macs every year?

- quijoteuniv 3y agoAlmost no-one do, however there is a bunch that buys new cars and flip them all the time!
- cpmsmith 3y agoWell, the previous Pro came out in 2019 (and the model before that 2013). Every four years is not unreasonable. https://everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=A1991 https://everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=A1...

- ghaff 3y agoI did get an Apple Silicon MacBook 18 months or so ago but my 2015 MacBook Pro is still fine for pretty much everything except ML and video/image processing.

- ghaff 3y agoYeah, it predated the infamous butterfly keyboard and touch bar. Mine did have to have its screen replaced (which Apple extended the warranty on because of a manufacturing issue) and I've also had a new battery installed but it still works pretty well on my dining room table for day to day purposes (which are mostly web-based use of some sort). But it's got a lot of miles on it. No complaints.
- Toutouxc 3y ago> 2015 MBP was a truly great model that precedes soldered RAM The last MacBook with upgradeable RAM was the non-retina 2012 Pro.
- ttfkam 3y agoYep. My mistake. I meant to say soldered storage.
