I do exactly the same with Apple laptops. Just replaced a 2015 MBP (that I bought used in 2019) with a 2021 MBA. Before that I had a 2011 MBA. New one is 16GB/2TB and was $700. It’s the fastest computer i have ever used by a wide margin - editing tens of thousands of raw files in Lightroom, editing 4K footage (which previous machines could not even do). I sold the old MBP for $200, so I’m spending around $500 every 4-5 years and getting thousands of hours of use.

Nice, you did the same as me, which is skip the whole butterfly era of Apple laptops. Those were dark days for the company.

> Those were dark days for the company.

Were they? Apple's earnings grew a lot during those time.

The harsh truth is that Apple's userbase will complain but in the end will keep buying anyway.
