My primary machine was a 2011 MBP until maybe 2018 and it was pretty sweet, but I'm pretty hard on my machines, and there was also a hardware issue that Apple wasn't able to fix. The Thinkpad I had working for IBM a-decade-and-a-half-ago was an absolute beast. I wish I could still get my work done on one of those old reliable machines, but having transitioned to heavy 3D Graphics stuff and working with game engines precludes this kind of thing. The increase in display capability alone has been a huge game changer for this work, let alone the kind of video cards you can get in these machines. The top-of-the-line 2022 Razer machine I use now will be essentially obsolete even for lightweight professional work within two years.
