I replaced my 2009 battery and replaced it shortly afterwards for actual work. Used it for netflix etc and then lent it to my partner's colleague at when they all had to start working from home and didn't have enough work machines (my partner has been using her own 13" mbp for over a year without even a thank you). Did a whole year as her main work computer. Old macs are often better spec/performance than a really cheap laptop.

The battery in my 2011 MBP ha swollen. I’ve removed it and will dispose of it in the proper manner but weighing up replacing the battery for £60 ish. It’s vintage hardware at this point but still fast enough for general use and is a joy to type on. Worth keeping alive that bit longer?
I also have a maxed out 16” from work for doing real things.
