Bad news courtesy of Apple this week - the next OS (10.14) will not run on my mid-2011 Air.
Not really a surprise there for me, but has me wondering which is more valuable - my 'obsolete' (both by age and model specifications) and incredibly convenient 11" that still runs as expected, or an OS that seems to have Dark Mode as the only real selling point for me.
Now, its possible that by October, I might consider getting a new Mac - but the bad news for Apple is that it would (given what we know so far about MacBooks, ports and keyboards) probably be a slightly more kitted-out 13" Air from last year, and likely bought from their own Refurb Store at a 15% discount. Or not. Maybe I'll just say 'thanks, but no thanks', and keep running an 'old' OS on an 'old' computer until it finally just upchucks on its own. And look at all the notebook options.
