Hi,
I need your opinions please.
I'm about to purchase a Haswell based 13' rMBP and I want to keep it an absolute minimum of 8 years.
Do you guys think getting the i7 and 16gb of ram will be enough to keep this machine running flawlessly for 8 years time?
Thank you for any opinions and advice![]()
I'm interested in why you need to keep it for a minimum of 8 years. I'm assuming it has to do with budget issues, and while you may have a tight budget now, I don't think you can possible estimate your cash-flow 8 years out.
I would max it out now, and expect to keep it 4-5 years - you really can't be making this kind of cash-flow decision 8 years out.
If you get more than four years out of it, that's great, if it lasts 8 years (which it might plausibly) then that's great, but budget to replace it in four years.
