@stefano I have a 2021 MacBook Pro (16", 64 GB) - I am not the original user. It is what I use most of the time. It's at about 89% capacity. It was the best laptop I ever owned.

Until I got a 2025 MacBook Air 13" M4 16GB

Why is it better? Only because it's lighter. Most of the time, I'm on the big screen on my desk. When I'm not, I'm used to working on a small screen. I have a 10-year old MacBook Air which is my other workhorse.

I see myself keeping all these until they die and can't be reasonably repaired.

@stefano If the battery is feeling wonky, can you get it replaced? That often breathes new life into a device.

@feld @normis Probably not.

Best to create a new port.

Hey Fedi !
I'm still searching for my next job. I'd also be ready to work full time if something pops up. Anyone needs a network engineer ?

"The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening."
