My 2007 iMac is still treating me well. Snow Leopard FTW.

Nobody should. They are machines built with decade old hardware.

If you like to tinker... you can build a Mac for much less.

I need to replace my 2011 iMac, it's dying. I might buy the 2017 model though

It will be much faster than your 2011 (a 8th Gen i5 is faster than a 2nd Gen i7)

Yeah, there is a brand premium but they are quality devices and the service is better than most.

I wouldn't undervalue the mac eco-system either. If all you do is compare
