Oldest macbook pro still in use

[0002378]

Mid-2009 13" here ... running strong on Sierra after SSD and RAM (and 2nd HDD in optical bay) upgrades

One of the internal speakers has been damaged and puts out distorted sound, but I use headphones exclusively, so not a problem.

Battery has been awesome too ... 960 cycles (max 1000) and it still hasn't given out on me.

Had to replace the MagSafe adapter recently because the cable got overstressed at the business end.

Oh, and the keyboard has an 8 year history of foods I've eaten and other residues from my fingers. Basically a wealth of forensic information if anyone wants to know what I do around the times I use my MBP.

We still have a 17" running. I would have to check, but if memory serves correctly, it was purchased during an office move I remember well. So, 2005. . . . Use it for reception, AV, music, calendar, etc.

Also have a 15" 2009 and a couple of 15" 2011's . . . And now we are in a bit of a crisis as to whether or not to purchase any more of the current generation from 2016 given the issues.
