Realised today that every Mac I've ever owned is still in regular use, and performs a unique role for me...

[Guest /u/RJG18]

As per the title, every Mac I've owned still works perfectly and is still in use. Not only that, each one serves a purpose. Specifically -

 

- 2012 13" MacBook Pro (MD101) [12 years old] - Used as a spare in the guest bedroom, but brought into service on the occasions I need to burn or copy CD/DVDs.

 

- 2015 iMac 21" Intel i5 8GB [9 years old] - Runs 24/7 as a Unify Network controller & management console. Used to bootcamp into Windows when Windows is needed too.

 

- 2017 12" Macbook [8 years old] - Used as my ultra-portal laptop when travelling, for times when I want to put a laptop in my bag without being able to tell I'm carrying a laptop around with me.

 

- 2020 iMac 27" 5K Intel i5 64GB [3 years old] - My daily-driver work machine when working from home (most days). Also used as studio machine for audio and video editing.

 

- 2020 M1 MacBook Pro Touch Bar [3 years old] - My regular work laptop while travelling or when going into the office, and for working in the garden.

 

I moved away from decades of using Windows, where every machine I've owned was either dead or unusable after 2-3 years, and I still find amazing that Apple machines can literally almost last forever, and remain completely useable. Has anyone else managed to keep all their Macs in constant service?
