I closed the lid on my 4yo Mac and stuck it in a drawyer 3months ago. I guarantee I could go open it and vscode and Firefox will be just how I left it after it wakes

I still use a 2013 Mac Book Pro daily. Unfortunately Apple no longer allows the OS to be upgraded and I can no longer upgrade Xcode so soon I’ll have to retire it.

The trick was to get 16GB in 2013.

Take a look at the OpenCore project’s legacy patcher: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/

The trash can might have a little more life left in it yet.

Thrown Linux on it and keep it rolling.
I’ve been using 2012 Macbook Pro and reluctantly upgraded to MacOS 10.15 last week because new updates of almost every apps I have been using doesn’t support 10.14 anymore. I think that I can continue using this laptop for at least a year.
Agree. I bought a 15” Pro and an 11” Air in 2013, both with 16GB, and used them until this year, when I went M1. Only really because I couldn’t run the latest OS anymore.
