So how does a machine like this finally die? Well, it’s when Apple no longer provides updates… Yes you can use third party tools like Catalina Patcher to run more modern versions, but that requries disabling hardware acceleration and will render the machine almost useless. At the time of this writing, it got a security update 40 days ago, but there are so many things you are missing out on. The last macOS version this machine will run was 10.13.6 High Sierra. It has followed me across multiple continents, produced feature length films, built apps for multiple clients, and, although the GPU died under warranty a few times, it still runs fairly well. Almost 10 years later and this machine is still kicking. At the time, I was majoring in film, and anyone who didn’t use a Mac to create digital media was frowned upon.
