@82mhz Funny thing is, there are a MacBook Pro and a Mac Pro among these computers 😆
They were top of the line models in their time and still aren't bad in terms of performance, I don't do "AI" thingies or 4k video editing — other than that, I can't think of anything I can't do with my computers. I mean, I wouldn't mind if they had hardware h265 decoding and I could really benefit from more power-efficient CPUs…
@82mhz With software I use any modern laptop would probably last forever on single battery charge. But that alone isn't enough to justify their replacement.
And I don't think I'd go with Apple hardware today, I don't even use my Apple hardware with Apple software anymore as I don't like it. If I hit the market today, I'll pick something by Purism, System'76, Framework, Tuxedo… There are a lot of companies that make computers with Linux in mind.
