#32Never had one, but I might pick one up on ebay if I ever need to support Intel Mac users.
macOS 26, Tahoe, is the last supporting Intel Mac. Tahoe will be superseded in 2026. 2 more years for Tahoe updates (unless they change how they support previous os versions (current + 2 versions back))
Not much longer for supported versions.

#33I still very actively use a Mac Pro 2013 (aka trashcan). It has 64 GB RAM, an 8 core Xeon cpu, and 1TB NVMe. I'm running macOS Monterey (12.7.6) on it. The hardware is still plenty powerful enough to be very useful. Supported software is getting to be more troublesome as the days go by. When the pain gets too great I'll look into installing Linux on it with the goal of continuing to use it.
Any plans for upgrading to cheese grater Mac Pro 2019? :)

#34I still use a macbook pro 2012 (lubuntu).
It's the longest lasting machine I've ever bought.
The build quality is fantastic. I use it as a backend to my Hermes Agent and it works fine.

wow, got 64G ram in 2013, that was very nice at that time.
how much you paid for the MBP ?

#36My friend has the macbook pro with that Touch Bar... apparently he bought it just a month before M1 dropped. Silly guy!
But I see him still using it and when the fans are on, it's like a jet engine.
