Technical Manager and IT Trainee report macOS Sierra compatibility issues on older hardware

Read at g2.com

What happened

Ajinkya D., an IT Trainee at a small business, reports recurring performance issues on older Macs and limited compatibility with older apps. Tuấn V., a Technical Manager, reinforces this, noting strict hardware compatibility dropping support for older models, which can hinder productivity for users relying on those machines. This suggests a systemic problem affecting a segment of their user base.
