  • advice needed pls; I have this macbook pro, its just under 80% batt capacity, I have pretty much used it daily since buying new 5 years ago. Its my only laptop. Musicmagpie is quoting £304 for this. Its working fine for what I need it for, has it already hit rock bottom price or should I sell and upgrade?

  • If I were you, it would be a question of a- does it do what I need it to do and b- does it get the most current OS/security updates. You’ve said it does what you need it to, and a 2018 MacBook Pro should run latest macOS Sonoma so b is ticked too. I’d hang onto it. It might not get the next version of macOS and if not, it will get security updates for a while longer. I’d look to sell it around then and buy whatever M series MacBook I could afford.

  • I have the same one, still going tho' it has had a couple of weird glitches that make me think the motherboard is probably not long for this world. It occasionally struggles with music production stuff these days so an upgrade will be coming before the new tax year. So much power. 💸

  • Its working fine for what I need it for

    Then why sell/upgrade? Especially when Opencore Legacy Patcher exists?

  • The only reason I think for changing would be bc the lack of battery makes it a pain. Can't see that really being an issue so as above.
