I still use a MacBook from 2012 for browsing, streaming and other basic tasks and its performance hasn’t changed at all. I don’t think a PC from 2012 would hold up the same over the years.

I believe there was a recall of MBs from 2015 related to smoking. They were fixing them for free for the impacted models. Sounds like yours is one of them.

PC all day. Get way more bang for your buck with PC. If you’re looking at MacBook Pros, Dell XPS is a good one that should be in your price range.

I work in analytics and data science and love my MacBook for almost everything. [Power BI sucks but it sucks anyway]. Python runs better on the Unix shell. [trying to get Python to run on a PC is a nightmare] Excel has a few quirks but it’s not as bad as it used to be.

I LOVE Mac that being said most legal programs and court sites run better on a PC. Dell is good and makes work easier

I hate and love my MacBook Pro. I used PC until this year and only because I wanted the ease of use with my apple iPods and phone, which is very handy with airdrop etc. You get used to the Apple IOS. To me, Dell is very reliable and looks sleek now if you stick with PC.

If you’re looking for something last long time, performance, easy interact with other iOS/ MacOS devices and ok to pay little more then MacBook 💻 .

My first MacBook Pro 2012 and the only thing I did to it back then just upgraded the memory from 8GB to 16GB and still working very well. This year I purchased MacBook Pro 16” with 32GB because I’m using video editing and 3D modeling which make it smoother to render. Love the touch bar and how slick it is.

I honestly think the “silent majority” this November are going to be people like me that voted for Trump in 2016 but will end up being a big reason he is voted out of office this time around. Biggest reason for me is the absolute lack of leadership and accountability.

Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.
