As long as the browser works and is current is enough for most people. Besides, Macs tend to be nice looking and their build quality is good. Aesthetics are subjective, but many find even older Macs pretty nice to look at compared to black boxes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] u_tamtam@programming.dev 3 points 5 months ago People don’t always need fastest possible computers for their tasks. Not arguing with that, I am myself daily-driving a lenovo that was assembled 3 years before the last intel macbook was produced, so it's not exactly new either.
