I still have an M1 MacBook Air and the only reason I would want to upgrade is because of the measly 8GB of RAM, I thought storage was more important for me at the time and I chose the 512GB SSD over the RAM upgrade, which was fine in 2021, but it's clearly starting to show its limits. I would also love to have the ProMotion Display, but I don't feel the need to spend almost $2000 CAD just for that.

Genuinely, i'm still using my White Macbook A1342, in fact i'm watching this short on it right now. Though I wouldn't recommend it, i'm amazed at what it can still do. Upgraded 8GB Ram and 512GB SSD and using DosDudes Catalina patcher to force it to update the OS to what I think it can realistically handle. I've literally had it since 2009, and though i've had newer MacBooks in that time, they either died or i just sold them because i rarely use a laptop anymore. But when needed, the old girl still pulls through. Not bad for a 15 year old laptop. Not bad at all. And it wasn't even a pro, it was just your standard MacBook. People seriously over estimate their spec needs. If Austin can still use a 3 year old laptop, you most definitely can deal with your older MacBook. And i say MacBook because i wouldn't say the same for Windows PC's.

I've had my PC I built since 2017, and am only now starting to consider building a new one. It's still absolutely fine in most regards, but I've noticed my GPU is beginning to have some issues - and upgrading that means sort of _having_ to upgrade the rest too. The average computer or laptop absolutely _will_ last 5-7 years no problem, and people really _should_ be using them for this length of time before buying something new. That would save on limited raw resources AND e-waste and plastic waste, which is a big and still-growing issue right now.
