I currently have 2011 MBP and I’m upgrading. It can no longer receive os updates. Things won’t run properly anymore. Have to use chrome as safari won’t load some pages. I’ve upgraded the Ram and hdd to 8 gb and 1tb ssd which is better than stock but it’s difficult some days just to do basic things.

Yeah that’s what I figured. Just want to make sure I’m getting a quality computer for the long haul. Want sure with no fan would it slow down a lot.

Never thought of refurbished ones. Thanks
