> my 2010 MBP is still my favorite computer of all time
Seconded. Mine has dents all over the body, battery has been replaced a few times, upped the memory and replaced the optical drive with 1TB storage.
It's performed surprisingly well for over 10 years. Once had to visit the "geniuses" to replace the logic board after a few years, but that's it really.
Its worked in pubs behind the bar, as a live mixer for audio gigs, as a development machine, as a university note making machine...
Although now I've got what seems to be a hardware fault with the display where black pixels turn bright green. That and the fact the speakers and microphone are shot to pieces means I'll have to move on soon.
End of an era for me. I will miss this machine dearly.

On jumping ship: if I can work out a way to get iTunes + Apple Music running reliably on Linux I'll be jumping over there asafp. Not liking the software direction (news/rumours?) Apple has taken recently.
