Everything comes to an end - including hardware support Apple products. This time it was the turn of MacBookyes specifically MacBook Pro 13″ (Mid 2012), which was the last laptop from AppThe machine would have celebrated its 12th birthday in June, but it Apple he does not give a gift, but rather their last life directive, as he has now added it to the list of obsolete products.
Marks as obsolete Apple usually products that have not been sold for more than five years, which MacBooky Pro 13″ from 2012 meet these requirements without any problems. However, due to the age of this machine, these MacBooky are already relatively unpopular among users, and the end of hardware support should not be too painful for anyone. However, it would be a mistake to think that service centers will no longer repair your old devices. The truth is that the vast majority of them still have stocks of the most basic parts, which they will use to repair outdated models. However, once the stocks are empty, authorized repairs are availableonec.

Yes, it's still my "main" home computer after 12 years of use... I've never used any other computer for that long. Over time it needed some improvements .. I now have 16 GB of RAM, already the 3rd battery and the SSD also helped a lot.
But from the point of view of "work" and comfort, I practically do not notice any difference compared to Airwith M1 processor... and I definitely have a better keyboard on my "grandfather"... :-)
Probably the best investment of 30 thousand in a computer that I have ever bought!
I have it too, I upgraded it the same way, it works and serves without any problems. After I bought a new one as my main computer for work Mac mini, so I have it as a backup. I wanted to sell it, but the second-hand e-shops with Apple the products were not interested in it or offered only a few crowns, so I kept it as a backup computer and when my son needs it for school assignments, it will certainly serve well.
There are a lot of old MBA and MBP machines.
