This feels like a load of baloney to me. My most non-technical web browsing Microsoft Word-using relatives went from a 2012 Mac mini to an M4 Mac mini and the difference was night and day. They were extremely enthusiastic about the end result. If they can tell it’s faster then certainly a technical person like myself can. And also, that was an incredibly cheap upgrade. In 12 years they went from one $600 computer to another $600. That’s right, the new one was the same price, so cheaper than the original after inflation, they’ve paid $50 a year to compute, and that’s on the world’s most premium brand of computers. Sure, you don’t need to upgrade anything. And for now, the Ryzen 3600 is a fantastic “old” processor, it runs my game server and it’s certainly capable. But it’s not like you wouldn’t notice a far better experience someday in the future with an upgrade.
