Apple’s hardware is affordable because it lasts so long. The Mac Mini I bought in 2012 can run the latest OS.

huh? I am a huge Apple fan but my grandad uses a PC I built in 2012 and it's running the latest Windows OS (with updates). In the PC market that is no feat tbh. In the mobile market - yes.

I don’t know if you know this but a pc built in 2012 can also run the latest os...

Running the latest os is one thing... does it run well, though? Probably depends on the os!

a decent new PC 2012 has a quad core ivy bridge CPU, a 600 series Nvidia Geforce card and quite possible an SSD drive. What latest OS won't run well on that hardware?
