Apple announces it will switch to its own processors for future Macs

If those devices will have 4-5 years worth of use, then I think most people would be fine with the purchase. 4-5 years already does require upgrading for either performance or quality of life features.

Your comment made me look how old my current laptop is. "Mid-2014".

It's still as powerful as any of the current Apple laptops - progress has been slow these last 6 years.

Part of the motivation for the transition is the hope that the progress will be much faster over the next 6. If that happens, those intel macs may age out sooner.

Yes, I think they will support them for at least 5 years.
