It will be supported for 8 to 10 years. It will last way longer than that. I have a 2014 Mac Mini (Intel i5, 8GB RAM, 500GB SSD) that runs the current MacOS. I also have a 2003 Power Mac G4 Mirror Drive Door that
still works fine. I had the power supply repaired a couple years ago by a guy on eBay.
I have a few iPod Classics (click wheel, various models) that are going on 15 years old. I have replaced the batteries (of course) and replaced the hard drives with 64GB, 128GB and 256GB SSDs. All are working fine.
Isn’t it just AMAZING how known Apple haters here have nothing but problems with Apple products. 🙄

Sure would hate to have to get a Dell laptop with half the battery life
and an obnoxious fan.
Suppose it will take another week and a half to get it with how slow it
is to ship out of China and all. Sometimes orders bounce around for 3
or 4 days before it ever gets out of China. At least that has been my
past experience.

Macbook Pro.
Wow, that was very generous of Apple. How old is old??? I got a pretty good trade for my 6S when I bought the SE 2020. That's a nice program when it works for you.
Boo-hoo, Apple offered to recycle my 4 year old HP Envy. :)

He is obviously dishonest, he got called out on it and he's doing the expected
role-reversal buffoonery taught in Trolling 101 as he makes an effort to
hang on to a smattering of honor... but it won't work.
The Linux CD Digger Thomnson mentioned is read-only media. It's not possible to copy new information to it. What is your evidence? In Digger Thomnson's case, I, and a whole list of "hackers", had pointed to things Digger Thomnson said and did, he rejected the idea. What Digger Thomnson couldn't deny was people actually posting what I noted, which is how he ended up with his list, of course. Ha! Right, Digger Thomnson is trying to retail a programming interface
reference, which anyone can get in 5 seconds, that allows him to flood multiple
groups. If he wasn't so slow he would figure out how stupid he sounds.

Usenet is a sovereign non-organization based on an honor system. It was Ixchel who stated that he and his students used to lie to strangers all
the time and it was free entertainment. And in response you have nothing
but a crack to start a troll-fest. Being an open format as it is, bulletin boards will never go away but it'll never be what your grandfather would
use.
What do you get out of lying? Of course, the only concern that concerns Ixchel is being "the winner", and if he can not have that he will do more research to actively slap Snit down... he's been that way forever.
I don't agree with that. Darkness is darkness and there are all kinds of people who are OK with it. Several are even lawyers.

Dustin Cook the functionally illiterate fraud
I've always tried to avoid buying/installing the first generation of anything, so I think I'll keep if for a little longer until any teething issues with the new machines are discovered. When I do buy, I usually
max out anything that can't be upgraded later (RAM on this one, but,
sadly, probably RAM and storage on the next one).

My only problem with Mac nowadays is just for storage reasons. For a RAM
that cannot be upgraded is still make sense, but for local storage, it is just crazy.
Local storage is local storage, it is not volatile memory, so apple should make sure their system is not too dependent on the local storage for the stuff supposedly on RAM.

It's called VM - when stuff that would normally be in RAM gets
written to storage. Or, it's about the fact that you cannot upgrade
Apple's SSD space. Or, maybe both. No wonder you can't figure out
that I was not talking about increasing battery durability by putting
in a new battery. You can't read simple English, Asshole. And, you
obviously don't know much about computers.

Ishtar lies so much that he has a terrible time keeping track of his dishonesty.
Or his forgeries and other crap. Ishtar wants to hurt the whole group: If
he and his shills can't be the focus here then his flooding crap will.
Almost all regulars in this forum do programming either as a necessity or
as a job, so I doubt Ryan Sullivan thinks of automation to be "impossible". The herd members value the lowest common denominator in both their lives
and their computer systems. ChromeOS is based on Linux. End of Story.

Yes, Idiot.
I know what VM is.
And what he's written is still nonsense.
He's suggested that the lacking the ability to upgrade the local storage will somehow make the system "too dependent on the local storage for
stuff supposedly on RAM".
And that makes no sense at all.

You're like a full moon on a cloudless night. We all see you there and
wonder how you can be so stupid. And you're so stupid you keep repeating
it.
Just Wondering's essentially snowing Troll Killer Snit to keep feeding
him by trying to 'build circuits', specifically, his clueless efforts
and Troll Killer Snit's efforts to help him become a better scripter.
He needs recognition, and as long as you are willing to continue play
his game, he'll remain. The teller of untruths does it every time. Then
the flood begins. Because the milksop just has to run to other groups.

Just go away, SnitThe person you are referencing is in my shit list.
Is Snit envious about Jeff Relf having six web sites warning people
about what he is, vs the single one he earned? Narcissistic Bigot Steve Carroll strikes again. Now that nobody is replying to Jeff Relf, he's
making it sound like he's achieved some great victory -- when in fact, people are just beating him at his own game.
We're all sorry Jeff Relf's a paranoid, narcissistic, delusional liar
but that's not gonna change anything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Mac can do to shreds! And you do, of course realize that it isn't impossible for Shadow to be doing this, or working with one of his old students who knows what they are doing. Just about everything Shadow says about Michael Glasser Snit is a lie. Who isn't aware of this by now?

Sorry for the late reply.
I am talking about the availability of upgrading or replacing your storage which nowadays is SSD.
SSD has a limited lifetime because of the write operation, which is
different from RAM. RAM is not cared how much write operation it will do,
it will not be broken because of it.
Meanwhile, the storage is not upgradeable or replaceable it will become a problem.
macOS nowadays uses a lot of virtual memory or VM, which will deteriorate
SSD fast. That is why I wrote that Apple should make sure their system here means macOS not to depend on VM too much since it is an SSD, it is not volatile memory here means RAM.
That is what the second paragraph means.
If they made it like this, the sustainability of the MacBook will be less
and less and quickly become another e-waste.
Sorry for the confusion and made my post without explanation, I thought people will easy to understand it. I hope now it will be more
understandable

Well, there’s the MILSPEC/HNDBK on it at work that
the EE-centric teams use on TRL 6+ designs.
Basically, its the design principle of fewer parts, as
provisioning a removable connector adds two parts
(each side of the connector), a solder joint, plus the
reliability hit from the connector pin connection too.
Graphically:
(Part A) —— sj —— (Part B)
vs
(Part A) —— sj —— (connector/M) —— cp —— (connector/F) —— sj —— (Part B)
…where:
“sj” = solder joint interface
“cp” = connector pin interface
It’s one (1) failure point vs five (5) failure points…. since 1<5, 1 wins on reliability.

All true, but solder joints fail too. So, the tradeoff is that you
know that some parts are more likely to fail from normal use. Do you
accept the small chance of an easily replaceable part's connection
failing versus the making that junction more reliable at the expense
of making the failed part difficult or impossible to replace? Does a
soldered SSD lead to trashing an otherwise functional piece of
equipment?

a solder joint, plus the reliability hit from the connector pin
connection too.
Graphically:
(Part A) —— sj —— (Part B)
vs
(Part A) —— sj —— (connector/M) —— cp —— (connector/F) —— sj ——
(Part B)
…where: “sj” = solder joint interface “cp” = connector pin
interface
It’s one (1) failure point vs five (5) failure points…. since 1<5, >>>> 1 wins on reliability.

All true, but solder joints fail too. So, the tradeoff is that you
know that some parts are more likely to fail from normal use. Do you
accept the small chance of an easily replaceable part's connection
failing versus the making that junction more reliable at the expense
of making the failed part difficult or impossible to replace? Does a
soldered SSD lead to trashing an otherwise functional piece of
equipment?
Making a part removable means using MORE SOLDER JOINTS.
Can't you understand that at least you have the option of replacement of a key part that is sure to eventually fail?

that you know that some parts are more likely to fail from
normal use. Do you accept the small chance of an easily
replaceable part's connection failing versus the making that
junction more reliable at the expense of making the failed
part difficult or impossible to replace? Does a soldered SSD
lead to trashing an otherwise functional piece of equipment?
Making a part removable means using MORE SOLDER JOINTS.
Can't you understand that at least you have the option of
replacement of a key part that is sure to eventually fail?
more ways for the whole system to fail?
Transistors are "sure to fail", too. Should we go back to vacuum
tubes?
Another Baker deflection. Transistor MTBF is several magnitudes above >>> a vacuum tube. A well-crafted connector for a SSD or RAM chip is not
likely to fail.
simply something is "sure to fail".
It's been tried before.
Anyway, I really doubt you could build a modern laptop using 30
billion or so vacuum tubes.

Pretty well in a limited sense. PCMIA was a good idea, then the USB standard replaced it. Today's Dells get high repairability scores due to their modular construction, and they are reliable.PCMIA is not an entire modular laptop.
USB isn't either.

What do you get out of lying? I noted specific examples of Bilby focusing

Bilby's posts are quite fully dishonest. There's no question that as soon
as any exonerated 'filtered person' does whatever to hurt the little milksop's
feelings that they'll be ignored again. I do not understand that. Denseness is denseness and there are many who are fine with it. Some are even programmers.

All true, but solder joints fail too. So, the tradeoff is
that you know that some parts are more likely to fail from
normal use. Do you accept the small chance of an easily
replaceable part's connection failing versus the making that
junction more reliable at the expense of making the failed
part difficult or impossible to replace? Does a soldered SSD
lead to trashing an otherwise functional piece of equipment?
Making a part removable means using MORE SOLDER JOINTS.
Can't you understand that at least you have the option of
replacement of a key part that is sure to eventually fail?
more ways for the whole system to fail?
Transistors are "sure to fail", too. Should we go back to vacuum
tubes?
Another Baker deflection. Transistor MTBF is several magnitudes above
a vacuum tube. A well-crafted connector for a SSD or RAM chip is not
likely to fail.
simply something is "sure to fail".
It's been tried before.

billion or so vacuum tubes.

Lack of response to my request for info on other modular laptops is noted.'Dell actually introduced a fully modular laptop (more like a desktop replacement) in 2019 called the Alienware Area 51M. It's a 17-inch
behemoth of a device that comes with a desktop-spec processor and GPU.
Best of all, you can replace these components in the future, provided
Dell releases a GPU designed for the system.
But after one year, the company stopped releasing new hardware for the
Area 51M and instead focused on newer, more powerful laptops with a
fixed processor and GPU.'

Reliability? Sources please.

Graphically:

How's that worked out?
:-)
Pretty well in a limited sense. PCMIA was a good idea, then the USB standard replaced it. Today's Dells get high repairability scores due to their modular construction, and they are reliable.
USB isn't either.
Lack of response to my request for info on other modular laptops is noted. >> 'Dell actually introduced a fully modular laptop (more like a desktop
behemoth of a device that comes with a desktop-spec processor and GPU.
Best of all, you can replace these components in the future, provided
Dell releases a GPU designed for the system.
But after one year, the company stopped releasing new hardware for the
Area 51M and instead focused on newer, more powerful laptops with a
fixed processor and GPU.'

OK, never heard of any of these obscure products.
