MacBook Pro Late 2017 - Worth replacing the battery?
My family's MacBook Pro Late 2017 needs a new battery. The computer is in good condition, but considering Ventura might be the last OS update in receives, I'm not sure if spending more than 200€ on a new battery is worth it. What do you think?

I think that's really your decision... it depends on how long you want to keep the machine. Ventura will be supported for another 2 years with security updates as soon as macOS 14 comes out. So I think it's your call—when do you want to replace the machine?
Only you can answer whether its worth spending 200€ for a laptop that could work perfectly well for another 5 or 6 years with 3rd party software support and Apple security fixes. I never understand posts like this.

In my opinion, the butterfly keyboards are ticking time bombs. But if yours never failed so far, then maybe you got lucky.

If the computer still does what you want it too, then yeah. Its better to spend 200 then 2000What do you think?
