Sorry (& please bear with me) as I'm not so techy... Can I keep/move my stuff (music, pictures, documents, etc.) from the old to the new? And do I need to "erase" my stuff from the old MacBook before I trade it in with a new one?
And BTW, how long on average (as in how many years) can a MacBook last before it "dies"...
Thanks in advance to those who will respond. Have a good day.

Yes, you can migrate from your old Mac to a new one.
See if the following articles help answer your questions:
Each Mac can vary in "how many years" it will last you. I've had Macs still working after 15+ years ... but they become less and less usable over time as they can't support the latest apps or security standards. Typically, from my experience, my Mac desktops tend to last longer than my Mac notebooks. However, my notebooks go a good 5-7 years before I replace them ... working or not.

My current Mac is approaching 5 years.
Thank you so very much for replying!!! Much appreciated.
