Similar story with my 2009 Macbook Pro, on it's third battery, ram upgrade and SSD upgrade and that's about it in 15 years. Not that ram and SSD's can be touched on newer models. My 2014 Macbook Pro is still on original everything but it has spent most of it's life plugged in. You are in for a pleasant surprise when you do get and apple silicon M chipped Macbook. Kermit 2009 MacBook Pro. Browsing this morning. Slow now but still pretty and functional.2 points

My Macbook Air is 10 years old, on it’s second battery but done maybe 60.000km on the bike. They’re tough, I will just replace it with a newer version of the same thing. Also, if you’re using it from home while plugged in, age matters less and battery life almost doesn’t matter, it’s not like you’re living a secret second life as a hacker!2 points

That is identical to mine, you won’t be disappointed for the money. Just got to get used to MacOS now. It will be ok Chrome works identically. Make sure you set yourself up an ICloud account and keep all your files in the cloud. You will never lose you stuff ever again. Get yourself a decent hard shell case to protect it and you will be good for years. https://ebay.us/m/lnowyw1 point

The newer M chipped Macs have Apples own CPU Arm Architecture processor. It uses much less power and produces much less heat so runs cooler. Doesn’t need a fan in the MacBook Air so gives a massive increase in efficiency and battery life. Also it is massively faster in the way it works. Without getting super geeky it transforms the way you use your MacBook. Not needing to be charged during the working day. I take my MacBook to work with me on a Friday and don’t need to charge it again until the following Tuesday. Of course others will use the things differently but they will still run up to 18 hours between charges. Sounds abstract until you actually live with it. Game changer for most. Also one thing I notice with my MacBook Air is that they have really improved the speakers. Much better quality.1 point

I just bought that one @Saul, it looks decent and comes with a 1 year warranty and everything I've seen local is either overpriced or too old . Thanks for the heads up1 point

Once you go Mac there’s no going back. Serious I switched from Dell around 2009 and just got used to not having to replace the hardware every 2 or 3 years. I still have the 2009 MacBook Pro and with a couple of upgrades it’s still going strong. . You do still want newer kit though Oh and I do still have a Windows 10 lappy and desktop kicking around although I haven’t turned them on in months. If it weren’t for all the old documents I have in Microsoft Office format, my mums sermons and such I probably would have got rid.1 point

That's what I've always used Dave, after 20 odd years I've come to the conclusion that they don't last long .1 point

Sorry, but I need to vent!!!! I experienced the WORST customer service today at a local store. I don't want to mention the name of the store because I'm not sure how I'm going to handle this. Last night I bought something from this store and I paid cash for it. I took it home and found out it didn't work. So today, less than 24 hours later I took it back to the same store and asked if I could get a refund. The cashier told me “NO” even though I still had the receipt. I asked if I could get a replacement instead, again she told me "NO." I asked to talk to a manager as we Karen's do..... now as I'm really not happy and I explained that I had just bought the item, had got it home and it didn't work. The manager just smiled and told me to straight to my face that I was "OUT OF LUCK." No refund. No FREE replacement. Grrrrrrrrr. I''ll tell you what...I am NEVER buying another Lottery Ticket from there again.1 point
