For a decade-old (or older) Apple laptop, however, you may be stuck with running another OS (Linux, Windows, ...) when security updates are no longer available for macOS on it.
Frequently the hardware outlasts the software support. Personally I'm a fan of Apple's pre-2016 "retina" MacBook Pro design, which included a better (chiclet) keyboard than later intel (butterfly) or Apple Silicon (scissor switch) models, but still had a great display, acceptable weight/bulk, and reasonably fast (and sometimes upgradable?) flash storage.
Surprisingly, Apple Silicon 16" MacBook Pro models are somewhat bulkier and heavier than their 15" intel predecessors, though they do provide drastically improved battery life.
