Is a 10 year old iMac obsolete?
The OS released in 2028 would receive support from Apple until 2031, and most third-party tools would work until at least 2033. This means that in general, you can expect about 10 years of life from a Mac, barring any unforeseen hardware issues.
Is it bad to update an old Mac?
If you're rocking a MacBook or iOS device as old as a first-grader, you should probably avoid upgrading your operating system. Devices over five years old are considered vintage by Apple, and are ineligible for support from the company (except in California, and Turkey).
Is the old MacBook better than the new one?
Keyboard, ports, and camera
Apple's newest keyboard is a huge improvement over the old one and will feel great to type on. Both feature backlighting with an ambient light sensor as well as a Touch ID sensor for unlocking, authentication, and Apple Pay purchases. The keyboard on the new MacBooks is excellent.
Is it worth upgrading my 2011 MacBook Pro?
Absolutely. I have a 2011 mbp as a second machine and with samsung ssd it's surprisingly modern and fast. No idea why you should install two drives though. Just swap the main drive to a 1tb ssd or so and keep the optical drive in place, it's more difficult to change.
Is a 10 year old iMac worth anything?
The value of a 10 year old Mac would be anywhere from $50 to $500 depending on which Mac, it's condition, and how it is configured. Instead of asking on Quora, take a look on eBay for models similar to yours that have sold recently.
Are old iMacs worth buying?
What should you buy if you're in the market for an older iMac? Don't buy anything older than the 2012 models, as the current macOS 10.14 Mojave and the upcoming macOS 10.15 Catalina only support iMacs 2012 and newer. As a general advice, it is a good idea to go for a 27" model if you have the chance to.
Can I close my Mac during an update?
Be sure to backup any of your files using a cloud service such as OneDrive or iCloud or use a flash drive to make a copy of all needed files. Please allow time to perform updates and restart as required. Never close lid, put laptop to sleep or shut power off while updating.
Does a software update delete anything Mac?
No, unless a problem occurs; some software may be incompatible with the newer OS. Back up everything first. If you do an install of Mac OS X, not an erase and install, it should not affect your content and data. It is always wise to have a backup of your data, however, in case anything does go wrong.
Can I leave my Mac updating overnight?
Answer: A: Just leaving your Mac notebook running on battery overnight or any time will not "damage" the battery. It shouldn't damage the battery even if you are charging the notebook with the supplied power brick.
Is a 2015 MacBook still good?
There's just no need to upgrade to the latest and greatest unless you absolutely have to. ... A 2015 MacBook Pro has more than enough power for most people, and unless there's a specific reason for you to get a newer model — the Core i9 processor, say — upgrading is not strictly necessary.
Why is MacBook Pro better than air?
Apple also rates the Pro as having a 100-nit brighter screen than the Air. Based on our lab test results, the MacBook Air (M1) maxes out at 365.8 nits of brightness, while the M1 MacBook Pro (13-inch: 434.8 nits) and the Intel-based 16-inch (429 nits) got even brighter. On color output, though, they're more similar.
Which year MacBook Pro should I buy?
Depending on your budget, I'd recommend a 2014 or 2015 MacBook Pro or -- if you have the budget, a 2019 or 2020 machine with Apple's renewed keyboard design. Avoid 2016 to 2018 machines, which have had notorious keyboard reliability problems, and you won't save that much on a purchase.
