Previous Macs have given me ~10 years of use each because I've been able to buy a configuration I could afford then gradually upgrade the RAM and replace the hard-disk as I needed.Īdd to that the fact that the cheapest 15" laptop (the size I prefer) is £1,900 which is totally galling and puts it way, way out of my price bracket.Īs a result, I'm actively looking for where to move when my current MacBook, a 15" from 2009, eventually dies. I genuinely can't afford to spend a minimum of £1,200 on a 13" laptop that's essentially glued shut and has no upgrade path at all. I genuinely dislike Apple's emphasis on thinness in their laptops. This switch is partly in response to the direction Mac OS is heading, but mostly due to hardware cost. I'm a little sad about it and I don't feel entirely like it's by choice, but it is what it is. I'm a longtime Mac user currently considering switching away from the Mac. (What follows is entirely personal and in no way an attack or attempt to demean anyone else's personal choices.)
