My first Macbook lasted 10 years, second one is going on 5 now. This is what you pay for, peace of mind and ease of use
Yup. I got. 2012 MacBook Pro. Still in good condition. Only problem is the battery dies quick. But a simple replacement would bring this back to 100%.
OSX is a big part of what you get, too. I got a MBP in 2013. I could go 2-3 days of daily use without charging it. I then put Windows 7 on it. Four hour battery life. Switched back to OSX.
So I found a MAC M1 with 16 GB RAm and 8 Cores There is a learning curve for me .. . . . .too many decades with PCs So Far so Good. Rocket River
