Replacing Your Mac
I’ve been asked this question so many times in the last 6 months: “Should I replace my Mac?”
In my experience, Macs tend to last a little longer than PCs. I usually give a PC 3-5 years of productive usability, and Macs are closer to 5. In my professional PC-user opinion, I think the reason is because Apple locks Macs down, restricting performance to make the machines last longer. But … that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. Just like all the PC companies, Apple is public entity and wants to make money, and a 5+ year Mac doesn’t make them any. I might sound like a crazy uncle with this conspiracy theory, but I think it’s true. It would makes sense, right?
