[unknown] keeping the M1. M2 is £250 more. Honestly the M1 is more than I need

LT42 Mid 2009 for me. Installed a new SSD and it’s very quick, but it’s getting more and more of a pain getting compatible software and browser updates.

BlainSA yeah I won’t be able to update mine anymore to the next OS. Not that it matters, I dont need all the NEW COOL FEATURES to software I never use.

Unbroken1 16″ MacBook Pro M1 Max

Yeh, I liked that they were making bigger screens again. A shame it’s not 17″ like my current one, but may invest given how long mine has lasted and that the new ones are ‘the best Apple have ever made’.

I pushed my previous MacBook bought in 2013 to 2021, it was barely usable by 2019. Took 5 mins to boot up. I’m a bit weary of the folks quoting 10 years plus.

rhouses my missus bought a 13″ pro a year after me and hers lasted 3 years before huge problems. In the main, the Pros from 10 years ago are serious machines, worth every penny.

rhouses something doesn’t sound right there like. Anyone I know with these macs are still flying today.

My 2015 MacBook Pro runs like it is new.

LT42 You have the latest OS on your 2010 model? How?

I use mine primarily for music and getting software that’s compatible with el capitan is more than a headache.

Still using my old Samsung from 2012 running on windows 7. Disk drive doesn’t work anymore which is a little annoying. Would definitely buy another Samsung

I have a mate who is a massive Apple fanboy. He runs his own business in professional photograph retouching for advertising. He’s recently ditched macs as they’re “just stupidly exprnsive and aren’t lasting like they used to”.

He’s now using Dell and very happy.

I use Dell laptops for work - have done for years and have zero complaints.

Fuck Apple

My mate concurs. There’s a tremor in the force

I think a lot depends on how IT literate a user is, you need to maintain your laptop much like a car or bike. If you use and abuse it then problems will occur

All the takeaways Rhouses orders has seriously slowed down his Mac.

LT42

I defo won’t be buying a Mac when the time comes as they’ve defo gotten less reliable of late and now most of the focus seems to be on cosmetics, much like they’re Phone range. The rest of the market have caught up which is good news for the consumer.

Was using Serato Vinyl and sometimes Traktor for most of those years with that 2013 Macbook Pro. Gave it a proper workout regularly. And then after a couple of updates by 2019, doing anything would take ages.

Don’t get me wrong, they’re great… I just think some of you have forgotten how quick they can be if they’re not 10 years old.
