Well I've outgrown my 2019 15" i9 16GB MBP after 6.5 years. Just ordered a 16" MBP M5 Pro 64 GB memory with 2TB SSD. Gotta wait 3 weeks for it so only 3 more weeks of a rather warm MBP. I did replace the thermal compound 2 years ago on the 2019 which helped a lot but it's time to retire the old gal. Will likely repurpose it as a headless linux machine of some variety. Currently running (headless) a late 2012 Mac Mini (i7, 16GB, 512 GB SSD) and a Rasbperry Pi 5 8GB with Home Assistant running on the Pi and a home hosted web server on the 2012 MM using a cloudflared tunnel and Google Auth. Not sure yet what I'll do with the 2019 MBP but one can never have enough Linux machines, lol.

I'm in my 60s (age wise) and I feel like a teenager again, lol.
