Computers last way longer than most people think. I find the annual upgrades from Apple a bit disgusting.
My first Mac was a 2009 MBP that I used almost daily as my portable computer for 10 years. It's replacement served me for 4 1/2 years - the advantages of the M series got too great to ignore. I don't see replacing my current laptop anytime soon.

Having said that, I also don't have an issue with Apple doing yearly updates as the year to year improvements are not large enough to upgrade every time a new crop of Macs are released.
 
My daily machine up until 2 weeks ago was a 2018 15" MBP with Touch Bar. Doesn't get the macOS upgrades anymore but it still works. 1tb and 32gb of ram.

The only reason I changed was because there was a very good deal on a 15" MBA M4 with 1tb and 32gb of ram during Black Friday week. I still use the MBP as an external screen for the MBA.

Computers last way longer than most people think. I find the annual upgrades from Apple a bit disgusting. Where's the sustainability in that I wonder?
1 TB storage and 32 GB in 2018 is hardly entry level do they?
