Apple Adds Select 2008 – 2009 Macs to Their Obsolete List

If you’re the proud owner of a Mac made between early 2008 and late 2009, you’ll be glad to know it’s likely obsolete. The Cupertino firm has updated its vintage and obsolete products list with a number of older products that haven’t been manufactured for over five years.
