As someone who has an M1 Air with only 8gb. It can’t be that long. The 8gb is a joke. Apple needs to stop it with this crap. 8gb isn’t it.

Depends on what you plan to use it for. If all you do it netflix and microsoft office, expect it to last another decade. If you want to use heavy editing software, youll run out of steam in a couple of years.

2013 MacBook Pro still running fine 🤷🏾♂️
And my Air of the same age. Also, having 8GB RAM and 500GB, I’m surprised that 10 years later Apple sells macbooks with the same specs or even worse. 👀

Why don't you ask it yourself?

I got my first ever MBP M1 this year. Coming from windows it feels smooth af and completely ready to smash the work I need to do with it. Having had said that... I swear the questions I see posted on this sub are blatantly insane and even paranoid at times. It's a tool, use it.
I have a mid 2012 MBP that’s still going strong. Replaced the GPU and battery but besides that it’s still a very capable machine.
That's the thing with the old macs, it was upgradeable but these new ones if it's gone it's gone
Apple replaced the GPU for me (under warranty). I replaced the battery myself.
