2nd hand Mac laptops

[LostCorpse]

Do you think its worth gettings a 2nd hand apple MacBook Pro 2015 for around £400.

My understanding is the apple laptops have a shelf life of 10yesr if i understand correctly, so th 2015 models would only be supported to 2025 if i undeertand the apple cycle correctly.

what at people doing with devices out of support trading them in/recylce?

reasons is my step daughter is looking for an apple for light work and basic word prcessor and spread sheets. she had a windows laptop ages ago but probably forgot how to operate it. shes and Apple Iphone and Ipad user, so i think shs after the prestige/same eco system.

i was going to suggest she use something like Libraoffice as its free, any other suggestions?
or should she be looking at something like a 2017 model for around 5yrs of use.
i dont use apples so not as clued up on them and their usage.

any thoughts or advise apprecaiated thank you.

edit : MacBook Pro
