[QUOTE="krs, post: 1852124, member: 67742"] You keep asking about the future - how this Mac will operate 4, 5,8 and 10 years out with apps and websites at that time. Nobody knows - I think it will be just fine, certainly in the 4-5 year time frame. There are many members here asking for help with Mac that are 8 - 10 years old and the issue is usually very specific - not generally related to just the age of the Mac. My Mini is going to be 8 years old soon and I never thought of it being 8 years old from a performance point of view until this thread - it runs everything just fine and is at least as fast as I need it to be. I think you're "overthinking" this, if you are really that concerned about the performance of the 2020 MBa in 10 years, I would suggest you go back to one of my suggestions, to spend half the money and get a good used one and keep that for 4-5 years and then get a replacement; although you probably won't need it.
