    They moved to a lower socioeconomic status and switched from a Windows machine to Mac? Is it to say Macs last forever?

        By virtue of locking you into their microservices, and locking you out being able to flash their hardware. Economically taxing indeed, the poor couple

        Idk, Mac processing power is a lot more expensive. It’s a laptop. I doubt they’re turning it into some high performance machine.

          Assuming thats the same MacBook, its e-waste right now. Any Mac from 2017 isn’t getting any updates anymore, OS or security. Maybe they could get Linux on it, but that’s its only chance to get an up to date OS on it.

            I get the point you’re trying to make, but for most basic users Windows machines are by far more affordable than Apple. If you’re buying a new computer on a tight budget you’re getting Windows.
