I wish I had thought of this yesterday but from what I have absorbed from being a preacher's spouse, I will offer an improvement on my original suggestion. Rather than harping on the dire consequences of your friend's reluctance to move on, tell her about your experience: how quiet your computer is, how safe you feel with your Time Machine backups that take place automatically, how you enjoy watching a video or UTube with the Retina display that is so crisp and sharp, how nice the fast response time is. No one likes to be told about anything negative about themselves or their choices and will immediately and inevitably throw up defenses. She can't feel defensive when you are talking about yourself and your experience. Then with her guard down, hopefully she will begin to listen and even ask you for advice. ‼️
