[dba-Tech] mbp and nuc (was: google sheets vs excel)

[Gustav Brock]

Eh ...? a "2007 mbp" and a "nuc"?? 

And what is "too old" to run Windows 10? My 12 years old HP Pavilion runs Windows 10, not the latest build, but still.

I had a 2007 mbp that I used continuously until 2017. Yes I did upgrade to an ssd around 2013 when I bought an iMac. Still for all work not at my desk I was working with my mbp through the end of 2017 when the screen ribbon finally gave out. I had windows VMs running in there and it hummed along just fine for most major tasks. Except for gaming after 2010 this little machine served me well. Along those same lines my iMac is continuously reliable and is my main home machine. I do have a windows machine but it’s too old to even run windows 10 anymore. I had a nuc but even that failed after 2 years.  As with everything ymmv but it’s been my experience that generally the hardware on the macs is extremely reliable.
