The MacBook works great still, I had a new Apple battery put in three years ago, probably needs to be looked at again. I’ve looked at it well! It needs a good clean inside too! It’s been collecting dust!
Good laptop even now at the end of 2023. I just put an ugraded NVME drive in with an adapter to expand the memory and the laptop is working well for me. Battery is getting a little bit old but its still usable.
