> My wife's macbook is no longer receiving MacOS (and as a result Safari) updates, and all she needs it for is "big laptop tasks" and occasional video calls. This is the absolute perfect purchase for her.
So the only reason to discard a working laptop is because Apple decided to stop offering updated, and you buy Apple again? Why not buy anything else that is Linux friendly and you get software updates until the hardware dies?
Do yourself and the world a favor and buy this instead: https://frame.work/de/en/laptop12

I don’t want to use Linux at home.

It’s 50% more expensive when you add in the memory and the hard drive. It’s a 12 year old laptop being replaced - I care more about the ecosystem it fits into and the devices usability than I do about being able to replace the keyboard in a decade. (And framework haven’t even been around as long as I’ve had this laptop).
