Mac Power Users, episode 274.

When to upgrade?

Welcome back to another episode of the Mac Power Users Podcast. I'm Katie Floyd alongside

David Sparks. Hey David! Hey Katie Floyd, how are you today? I'm doing well, how are you?

Excellent, excellent.

I'm ready to do some Mac Power User podcasting.

All right.

So this is another one that we've had on our on our list for quite a long time.

We get a lot of questions from people about upgrading. When should I upgrade my machine?

When should I upgrade my OS? What's coming out? Should I buy now now should I wait? Those are hard questions to answer.

Yeah yeah but we but we have answers. We do we have all the answers.

Yeah so I maybe let's just start in with it.

All right.

When do you upgrade your machine, Katie Floyd?

You know, so you're asking, that's a tough question, because I used to have a very predictable upgrade cycle and I've changed my pattern recently, you know, partly just because of life circumstances partly because of

Apple's upgrade cycle I guess we could talk a little bit about that you know

Apple's hardware cycle is is fairly predictable you know they've kind of gotten into this routine

where they have these events and you typically know that you get new laptops in

the summer and then the IMAX come later in the year and the MAC pros are a

little bit less predictable but there's not as big of a market for the MAC

Pro but I mean it's kind of fair to say that that we we have a general idea of of when these things come and we kind of have a tick and a talk where we tend to get a major upgrade every other or every third year and then every couple of, maybe every fourth year and then every couple of

years after that it tends to be more more refreshes and more
