What updates were those? I'm still using a 2013 MBP too and no plans to upgrade. Given that 10.14 is still compatible with 2010 MBPs I think I have more than a few years left with it.
10.13 and the upcoming 10.14 and any future updates no doubt.

> Finally you hit a point where your system is so far behind that you give up My 2013 Macbook Pro retina will be at this point in the fall with two major upgrades uninstallable. I'd say this argument no longer holds because even the official hardware often can't be upgraded. I would be shocked if the next OSX version doesn't fail to upgrade like the one from last fall. That new filesystem breaks everything. Thankfull…

The 2013MBP has ---no trouble-- running High Sierra or the Mojave beta.
Sheesh, with even a cursory google search you can get High Sierra running without issue on a 2009MBP.

The simpler solution most people miss is to just buy a hackintosh-able laptop, like the Lenovo ThinkPad X220. Updates up until 10.13.6 worked seamlessly, only "hack" you had to do was change out the WiFi card.
That is a 7 year old laptop.
I would't be. It doesn't matter if they build the dream "pro" machine today if they are not going to refresh the line for 10 years.
I can tell you from experience that building a Hackintosh is a terrible idea for almost all people. I have no moral objection to it and I totally understand the motivation. Apple is completely failing to provide hardware that runs at a fraction of the performance you'd get from building a commodity $2500 AMD/Nvidia desktop even if you give Apple $7000 for a Pro model. Apple's platform especially sucks if you do anyth…

> - you can’t get a good keyboard (for some definitions of good) You mean like, a PS/2 keyboard or what are you on about? Any bluetooth or usb keyboard works on any regular mac. > - macOS gets more iOS-ified with each release and some people don’t like that Again, what are you on about? A hackintosh is running a just as ios-ivied macOS as a regular mac.
I think he's implying that you would run an older, less iOS-ified version of MacOS on the Hackintosh.

This is fud - buying the right parts means you'll have a working Hackintosh within about 30 to 60 minutes from start to finish. I'm typing this from a Hackintosh, my very first actually. All I did was follow the https://www.tonymacx86.com/ guides. No issues through all High Sierra updates, the nVidia drivers have been generally problem free too.
