I've been using my 2013 MBP for nearly a decade. Finally replaced it with a M1 MBP a few months ago.

Honestly the 2013 still works great for what I do (web, videos, and dev work that doesn't involve spinning up multiple VMs ;) ), I figured it was time to upgrade and the supply chain issues don't seem to be letting up anytime soon. I might replace the battery in the old one. I'm hoping to get at least another decade out of the M1 machine, hopefully more.




Are you sure that you can watch today's VP9/AV1 YouTube videos which would be software-decoded on a 2013 MBP without spinning fans incessantly?


I am sure you cannot since I also have a long-in-the-tooth 2013 MBPr, and YouTube can definitely heat it up.
