Long time member here with embarrassingly low post count. I am still using my base model mid 2009 13" MBP albeit with maxed out RAM and a SSD. It is still performing as well as it has ever done, if not better on account of the upgrades. The battery is toast and the machine is generally a bit grubby (I guess 10 years of constant use will do that) but it never leaves my desk.
I'm getting into to more photo editing and DAW usage (this machine particularly starts to struggle with even basic multitrack recording & virtual instruments) and I am considering upgrading.
I ran a Geekbench 4 (GB 5 doesn't work on my ancient machine) scan and I get the following scores:
My question is, how does this compare to newer models? The benchmarks on GB are all based on GB 5 so doesn't seem reasonable to compare GB 4 with GB 5 results.
Thanks in advance.
