I've found this to be the case with the various macs I've had over the years.
I think the oldest mac in my family is a 2010 MacBook Pro my parents use for email/web/bills. I bought it in 2010 and used it until 2013/2014 when I got an Air. I'll likely replace it with another Mac when it kicks the bucket - though with an Air this go around.
IMO, if you don't mind buying an external display and an SSD - a 2014 Mac Mini is a pretty good machine that will return many years of life. I've seen them pop up for as low as $300.
