Well, yeah, and my mom was using my old 2012 MBP until it was a decade too. Main reason to upgrade to an M1 Air was the battery and the performance improvement that comes with a decade of processor and efficiency improvements. And I bet that’ll last another decade. I sold my previous two work MBPs back to family members as well, which they’re still using.
And btw a used M1 Air, at almost 5 years old now, is still a great budget choice for anyone.
Author should have just put in a longer time frame.
- hermanzegerman 1y agoNo it isn't. If the cheap SSD inside has reached it's write limit it's a paperweight
- rwyinuse 1y agoFor an average user the SSD will never reach its write limit though. But I agree, SSD's should be always user-replaceable.
- cycomanic 1y agoAs I said somewhere above, I am not trying to say that apple hardware is bad and I'm sure they last a long time (although when the battery eventually dies I heard changing that is not straight forward). My point is, that apple is not "crazy good" for making laptops that last 5 or even 10 years, that's just normal in the upper segment.
