I have a 2007 17" MBP, fully loaded for its time, that was still giving me great service as a classic gaming machine (via Bootcamp) as recently as six months ago. In its prime it was essentially a true desktop replacement for most work activity. Sadly, it's about ready to give up the ghost. There are fewer and fewer use cases I can justify squeezing out of it these days. But what a hell of a decade it's given me.
