Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
It won't last 12 years without major Apple intervention though, as the battery is glued in...
Job done.
But then I intercepted some laptops being thrown out in my old job, so now I have a HP i7 with 32 GB and two SSDs! It's running Linux Mint now. (It was a similar price to a Mac.)
So I'm not needing a Mac no more.

I had a 2010 MBP, and I was happy on Snow Leopard, but it wasn't compatible with the Kemper RIg Manager. I was forced to "upgrade" the OS, and it made it significantly slower.
If you do want it to work with recent hardware, you can't use a 2008 Mac or PC. At least the PC is half the price when you do have to bite the bullet and get a new one.
Every £400 - £500 Hp or similar laptop I’ve ever seen is a plastic pile of junk and all the ones I’ve had have developed problems. Would be interesting to see how the higher end laptops fair, like the Microsoft ones. Trouble is they end up costing as much as a MBP.
I’m going to get a MBP, but will probably wait until the next upgrade, hopefully the processors will get a bump.
