Well, I went ahead and spent the money on a brand new MacBook this morning. The old Mac was a 2017 model and was really showing its age in a few ways. It took me around an hour and a half to get this new machine all set up like the other one was except for some fine-tuning later. These machines are not cheap! I purchased the 16-inch version this time, that’s three more inches diagonally which is nice, a bit easier on the old eyeballs.
An hour and a half?! It would take me longer than that to get it out of the box. 😳
Is this the famous that has M1 processor in it? Congrats!
The same, thanks! I am amazed at how quickly the internet pages and my apps load up, wow!
Very fancy. My MacBook is about 4-5 years old and I could probably use an upgrade soon.
Thanks! I’m still adjusting to the larger size but I like the larger screen. This machine runs much faster too, the page load time is significantly faster with the M1 chip. I have a very fast link to via Cox Cable.
Mine is the same as your old one, and is having problems too – my computer adviser says that was a bad model
I rarely used the iMac, never should have purchased it but it too was having issues. It was time for both ot them to go and so far this has been a great decision, Derrick. This machine runs considerably faster with the newer M1 chip. Page loads are faster and I have a very fast cable connection too. Still getting used to the lager size though.
Congratulations with your new MacBook John !
Thanks so much, Rudi! It was time to trade the old machines in. They both had some odd technical issues that I couldn’t fix without reloading the OS. May as well just get one brand new machine.
oooh, she’s pretty.
Thanks so much!
Well..good that you have new one.
Thanks, Anita. It was time to let the old-timers go but I was hoping for a better trade-in price on the old units… I asked they guy what happens to the old ones. They are taken to a location where they are disassembled and the reusable items removed.
Good idea.
You bet!
