The issue with Apple computers is that they abandon them faster.
I had a Mac Mini Core Duo from 2006 that was abandoned by Apple in less than 3 years. I put Windows 7 on it. MS didn’t end support for Windows 7 until 2020.
I had a Dell Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz laptop from 2008 that I put Windows 10 on and it doesn’t reach end of life until 2025. I just retired it as my Plex Server in 2020.
- tyfon 2y agoI have a macbook pro from my father from 2012 that work just fine, but I have to patch the bootloader and insert some kexts to run the latest version. It works just fine, but Apple don't want it to work. My daughter has an apple watch se that they also stopped updating after just 3 years, so now the LTE on it is useless as the carriers here require a newer version. She's getting the pixel treatment when it's time to get a new phone.

- Jtsummers 2y agoThe Core Duos were 32-bit, they only sold them for about 6 months before refreshing everything to the Core 2 Duo (64-bit). They were supported for 5 years though, not less than 3. 10.7 was the release that dropped 32-bit Intel support and that was released in 2011. 10.6 still got updates for a few more years though, it didn't die in 2011.
