I've been holding onto my late 2013 15" MacBook Pro for almost 7 years now and it's wild to see it get absolutely out-spec'd by the MacBook Air. It's been a long time, but I've always convinced myself that I'm not missing out on that big of a processor improvement. I do a lot of audio work with it, but even then it doesn't always feel like a slow experience.

Your 2013 would be at a huge performance disadvantage to the 2020 Intel Air and Pro.

Those are supposed at just as much of a disadvantage compared to the new Apple Silicon Air and Pro.

That's where shock comes in.
