Perhaps an interesting note is that Apple should have added this particular model to the obsolete page when they updated it on 5 December 2023 [1] and 2 January 2024 [2] (as both were more than 7 years past the 27 October 2016 discontinuation date), but they forgot to add it until yesterday. They also never had it on the 'vintage' list at any point, as they have with other macs; instead it went straight from not listed to 'obsolete'.

- drewzero1 3y agoIt was a curious holdover and I was surprised at the time that they kept selling it as long as they did. After the retina Macs came out the writing was on the wall. It's also worth noting these were also the last MacBook with upgradable RAM, and we're still seeing issues with insufficient stock RAM on the newest MacBook models.
