I agree. I recently was given a 2019 i5,16gb and I would have been very disappointed if I had bought this.

I trust your insight, but do you have a source that I can give to others that do not believe this? I would like to prove it to someone at work...

Here is a link to an article that discusses the new features that do not work on the older Intel based Macs.

Plan another 1-2 years max of updates for Intel based Macs.

The current MacOS has functionality already which is unsupported on this.

" The last time Apple transitioned processor platforms, the final version of the old platform had full OS support for 3 years after it was discontinued, and another two years of security updates. Apple CEO Tim Cook has promised software updates for Intel Macs "for years to come," but that's a pretty vague statement to hang a multi-thousand-dollar purchase on. Apple is also notoriously secretive about its future plans, so past history is our best guidance."

for only 2-300 more you can get the m1 imac that will last much longer, looks much nicer, and will run circles around this. the only thing that this could have going for this, is upgradability after purchase BUT this doesn't even have that! would not recommend...
