Yep, pretty sure my 2019 27” is going to last forever. Core i9 and SSD are super fast still after 4 years, and lack of memory is what usually slows a computer down long term, more than CPU. I bought my iMac with 8 GB and upgraded immediately to 40 GB for like $100 or something. In a few more years, maybe I’ll upgrade to 64 GB, and then I’ll be good for another long while. Meanwhile, people buying base MacBook Pros will still be slumming it with 8 GB lmao.
