Computer performance and efficiency are evolving at a rapid pace. If you take Moore's law in hand, the number of transistors and their power on processor chips doubles about every two years. This not only means that there are regularly new and more powerful devices on the market, but also computers that are no longer supported by current systems, apps and peripherals due to (more or less) outdated technology. And this is where the term "Legacy Mac" comes into play. You can find out what that is and where you can find information about it here.
What does the term "Legacy Mac" mean?
While "legacy" is sometimes used figuratively in English for "legacy" or "legacy", when it comes to technology, the interpretations "legacy" and "obsolete" are more appropriate. A Legacy Mac is an Apple computer that is no longer supported by the manufacturer, no longer receives updates, and has been on Apple's "Obsolete" list (already for some time). It's a Mac that isn't commonly used anymore to run contemporary applications.
The devices on the obsolete list are also called "discontinued" called. While obsolete Macs are uninteresting for everyday use, they may still be of interest to collectors, nostalgists, or specific purposes. After all, retro computing is trending â and beyond that, preserving physical relics of computing history offers some benefits. From museums to films and series set in the past, there are many examples.
