-posted from my ten year old MacBook which shows no need for replacement
And is what, 3 or 4 operating systems behind due to it being obsolete
At which point did Apple decide your MacBook was too old to be usable and stop giving updates or allow new software to run on it?
Still gets security updates. All the software I need to run on it runs on it.
My email, desktop, and calendar all still sync with my newer desktop. I can still play StarCraft. I can join zoom meetings while running Roll 20. I can even run Premiere and do video editing… to a point.
I guess if you need the latest and greatest then you might have a point, but I don’t.
This whole thread is bitching about software bloat and Apple does that to stop the software bloat on older machines, but noooo that’s planned obsolescence. 🙄
