Still rocking this MBP 15" 2009
Report from the trenches:
This MBP 15" from 2009 is still running great.
Upgraded to the "full" 8GB DDR3, a 500GB PNY SSD, and recently a new battery.
Hooked up to an LG 23" 1080p external monitor along side the 15" (non-retina) display.
I have the SSD partitioned so I can run either High Sierra or Big Sur (and even Linux).
Guess I am not all that picky...because this is still s a fine "main desktop" for surfing the Web, word processing, spreadsheets, simple database, light photo and graphics editing, etc.
Modern Gaming? No.
Video editing....No if you are talking something like 4k video.
For low-res, yes. iMovie works just fine.
For 90% of what I do, it's great.
EDIT: And as I was posting this, the whole thing powered OFF with no warning...LOLOLOLOL
Rebooted and working good again.
Well, MOSTLY it's running fine.
