Still using an early 2011 MBP. Replaced the drive with an SSD on day one, and have since swapped out the DVD with a 1tb hard drive. Upgraded the RAM and it works well for its age, but it's had its main board replaced as part of the 2011 video card recall and it's definitely got some issues that would benefit from a clean install of OSX. I'm a buyer of their refreshed MBP ... whenever that comes to market.
