Why the hell am I holding on to this old ass Macbook?

It's a mid-2012 Macbook Pro, I just bought a new battery for it and replaced the optical drive with another SSD.

Granted, I don't do much heavy computing with it, just internetting and watching videos. The only time it really shows its age is when converting videos from my gopro.

I recently thinned the herd, but I still have a small stack of old laptops kicking around.

I have my original iBook SE (G3, the plastic clamshell ones that look like the old iMacs) as well as my original G5 Tower. All the machines after that were sold/given away; but those are sticking around.

I should boot them up sometime to see what a time capsule they are… if they still even start lol.

I have, under my desk, a PowerBook G4 and two Intel Macbook Pros. There have been weird software and connectivity situations where I've actually pulled them out and used them.

I finally dumped all of my old Macbook Pros.

The best one I've ever owned was the 15" 2013 i7-4850HQ dual graphics, and I only recently moved up to a 2025 M4 Max to replace it.

That was one of the best models, imo. I have a 2008 and a 2009 around here somewhere, but I genuinely like the 2012’s best
