I am guessing many companies have the same thoughts on new computers for their staff, but need to be financial prudent.<\/p>\n<p>With the launch of new laptops with M2 chips, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerworld.com\/article\/3668249\/review-apples-m2-macbook-air.html\">Computerworld<\/a> wrote &#8220;In general, if you&#8217;re looking for a notebook to become your regular ride, for most users the M2 MacBook Air\u2019s fanless design, fantastic battery life and clear bright screen \u2014 and its impressive performance per watt \u2014 add up to a machine you\u2019ll use happily and productively for years.&#8221; the itch grows. Then I see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.ie\/business\/technology\/review-apples-macbook-air-m2-is-the-best-laptop-around-but-costs-a-fortune-41863788.html\">Independent ie<\/a> say &#8220;Apple\u2019s MacBook Air M2 is the best laptop around but costs a fortune.&#8221; The itch fades.<\/p>\n<p>To be financially sustainable you have to make sure you (or your company) get high value for the devices you are currently using, when refreshing. The Apple ecosystem goes a long way to solve that issue. Simply said, MacBooks hold their value better than other laptops. After four years they hold about 40% of their original value. This value helps for future refreshes and keeps you (or your company) ahead of the curve when it comes to technology.
