It’s no longer my primary machine but my 2009 MBP is still running just fine (new memory and disk 5 years back, battery is a bit shagged at this stage) and I use it all the time for storing and casting media, light dev work, office apps etc.

- akmarinov 6y agoThat's been the case since 2016, after that everything is soldered in, so you can't change anything. And even before that in the 2012 iteration you could only change the SSD with the RAM still being soldered in. So all in all - it's been almost 10 years since they've been aging faster.
