I still have my 1000H from 2010 and even used it for school and uni right up until 2019 when I no longer was doing on campus work and I could do everything on my desktop.

Granted, I went down the rabbit hole of Linux on it around the 2015 mark because Windows 7 onwards was too much for it, and it always had overheating issues, but it aided my Linux addiction and was the very laptop that got me interested in programming so I personally am happy I kept it.

That being said, I also totally get why a MacBook was just a much better value propositions, and if mine wasn't my 10th birthday present I probably would've loved doing the same thing.
