The poster I was replying to said outright falsehoods about Macs not being able to be updated to the latest OS. By the time Apple puts them in the not updated list, they are 7 or more years old. In other words, 95% of real world users can update to the current version for free.I work with macs some for work (not in IT, we just use company macs. I'm sure your mac is very outdated. You just don't know the difference until you upgrade to the next one and you would see the difference in speed...also depends what you use it for like email and browsing is super light use.I'm a gamer so macs are definitely a no go. I can build a P C for 1/2 the cost of a Mac that will smoke every Mac on the planet and be able to run any software you want. Have to be able to handle latest AAA gaming titles which macs would be outdated pretty quick on.
