One reason for me not upgrading my 2009 MacBook until the M1 was I put a SSD in there, more ram, and it just purred along. Then somewhere around 2014 I installed Linux on it and I never looked back. I don’t have much to do but write documents on this thing, email and light web browsing. The thing was a tank, and it still goes after 10+ years. Fun fact the cd drive broke just after 1 year… I still think the screen is the most beautiful screen I own, and the keyboard/trackpad is solid what else do I need? M1 for me was just interesting to try something different.. and turns out it was a good gamble, and I have retired the 09 model as my daily driver, because it turns out having a battery that works is useful.
