It’s when people mention “the Apple tax” that the bias shows up.

At least my older Macs don’t turn into door-stops when Apple stops supporting them. Two of them cannot be upgraded to the latest versions of MacOS, but they are fully functional.

Does Apple continue to patch these old versions?

By "door-stops" are you referring to your hardware becomes a "door-stops" once the M$ reaches EOL?

I have 7 peaces of hardware that are "door-stops". I breath life into them with a bit of RAM, an SSD drive, and Linux.

When my Win10 laptop hits EOL I will simply replace Win10 with something like Kubuntu, and I will keep using it.

My plan is to become M$ free by Oct25.


From all of the warnings I’m reading about Windows 10, I’m really not sure what to expect. I have two computers that I can’t upgrade to Win 11.


I curious, isn't your old Apple hardware in the same boat? Or does Apple support the older O/S version for years after the EOL?
