I've had the same MacBook pro since 2013. It's an amazing machine. I can't wait to update when the new ones come out in a few months

I second this. Have a mid-2013 MacBook Pro that still works like a charm. Considering keeping it for another year or so at least.

It depends on how you use it. I bought my current one in 2012. In 2018, I spent some $$$$$ to improve RAM and the hard drive. It works like a champ now. I’m also not asking it to do too much.

Got a midrange laptop about 3 years ago, mainly for gaming. (Note parents bought it for me, I’m only 20 now). I’m able to upgrade some of the components so bought some more ram and an ssd, likely will keep it for another few years then look to upgrade if still using it regularly

I work at a ‘free market’ firm and have developed a very good reputation among partners. Naturally, they are drowning me in work. Each time a new case comes up, the partner will email asking if I have “time and interest” in helping. When I’m at capacity, I take these words at face value and explain why I can’t do it, and that seems to work out ok with no hard feelings. But what’s the “interest” thing? If I don’t want to work on a toxic tort case, do I just say that and pass?
