    My MacBook is over 10 years old and doesn’t get updates for years now, still works great. I ditched iPhone because of the high price and will probably not buy another MacBook when this one dies but I am really surprised how long they last. I do not run heavy apps or games so that probably makes a big difference but I can run 100 tabs and watch full hd movie without it slowing down cannot believe it. Also retina display and ssd so even after 10 years, if I were to replace it with a budget or midrange windows laptop tomorrow I don’t think it will feel like an update.

      Yeah, they’re solid. I have a 2014 mini running Linux Mint that I use as my Home Assistant / Plex / Syncthing server. I also have 2011 mini that’s also running Mint that I use at work for giving presentations.
