Man. I’m still on that old 2013 mac laptop cuz it has the headphone and mic jacks and a DVD player. I keep thinking one of these days I’ll have to upgrade. I’ve maxed this thing out with memory and a new battery and a huge solid state hard drive, but like, I cant run the newest OS. Maybe a good thing cuz I have software that won’t work on the newest OS. But there’s also software that won’t work on this old one
It’s funny that between 2000 and 2013 there was always an excuse to upgrade. I needed more storage or a faster processor. But somewhere Around 2013 technology almost maxed out. Like I’ve never had a problem where photoshop or any other software I regularly use for work or play ran too slow. I guess if I wanna start editing 4K video or something I’ll have no choice. But I don’t. So really the only thing now that will force me is if software I need for work literally stops functioning. As far as storage I just keep buying whatever new external drives come out. Right now I have one 4TB drive and another I keep as a backup that I update regularly. Even there, 4 Tb is enough to hold every file I’ve created over the last 25 years with room to spare. It’s a weird point where technology seems to be at a “more than we’ll ever really need” point.
