Recently purchased a 2020 i7 Macbook PRO with 1TB/32GB. The goal was to have Apple quality hardware and once MacOS is not supported years down the road, I can install Linux on it. Great investment short and long term.

You are unique on earth. Cherish that. Put yourself out there as you have been doing. Even if it takes a few more months, you have a support system through your spouse. Showcase your CV/skills online for others to find you. Opportuniti

I'm still using the 2015 Macbook Pro (i7, 16GB RAM, 512 SSD) with an iPhone 6S to supplement. So far, there has not been a reason to upgrade to any newer version of each. Maybe I'm just one of those in a small group that is conten
