[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 822042, member: 986"] I upgraded my 2015 16" MBP reluctantly last Black Friday to a M1 16" MBP. Reluctantly because though the hardware was 9 years old, I needed to run the latest version of the OS for the latest version of Creative Cloud. The 2015 MBP didn't support the latest macOS. (Apple guarantees 7 years of support so I can't complain.) FWIW my brother is now using the 2015 and it is still working great. The reason I stated the ages is even though Apple is always bashed because of price, it is my experience that the hardware is extremely reliable. I'm looking to upgrade my 2012 Mac mini probably this Black Friday for similar reasons. My wife is still using my even older 2012 MBA for occasional minimal browser and MS office tasks. I opted for a fully loaded M1 instead of the at the tine newly released M3 MBP because I was able to get 4 TB of storage and 64 GB of RAM. LR and PS are amazingly quick. This M1 config was about the same price using the military discount as a base model M3. I expect this machine to last as long as my old 2015 which was another reason for maxing the storage and memory. [/QUOTE]
