Keeping an old Windows laptop when you’ve got a brand-new MacBookisn’t tech-hoarding; it’s strategic.

Sometimes, the quirks of an aging machine can save the day in ways your newer MacBook just can't.

The Windows machine handles high-risk tasks like downloading suspicious files or opening questionable links (do NOT do this, please).

For all of Apple ’s innovation, they seem to have decided ports were too 2010s , leaving me to juggle with USB-C hubs.

My MacBook may be the star of the show, but my Windows laptop is the lifesaver behind the scenes.

If you’ve got an old laptop lying around, don’t toss it just yet.
