    How Much Time Do I have Left - Using A 2015 MacBook Pro?

    I'm still using my 2015 MacBook Pro that I bought in 2015. I'm vaguely aware that support (which I guess would be security updates) will end soon-ish. But when? I need to plan on buying something newer. I'd likely buy from the Apple website - something newish (or maybe brand new). I...

    Is it safe to buy a MagSafe 2 charger if it’s sold by Amazon itself?

    I found this on Amazon which seems to be selling for significantly cheaper than anyone else. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009VOFRYU/ Any idea if this is an OEM charger? I generally wouldn’t trust it but this one says it’s shipped and sold by Amazon.
