I'd say it's time to retire it and not bother with another battery replacement, especially given the other issue you mentioned.

Hey I'm still running this same machine! I must have had bad luck with some batteries. It has been at least 1-1/2 year since I replaced it and this one seems to be holding on strong.
The computer is wonderful! A 2011 machine still running strong in 2020.


I'm actually thinking of adding a Mac as my personal desktop. I've always had a PC/windows machine. But after using a Mac laptop so long I think I can handle a desktop.
Costco will have this one on sale starting tomorrow:

Is it possible to add external monitors to this? It seems like a decent deal to me, is it good?
