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.

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.
