A new laptop with equivalent specs from Apple is at least $2400. This is not complicated.

If you really think so I would recommend looking at some benchmarks because that is not particularly close to reality.

Although you should wait until the M1 variant of your laptop releases. It is a bad time to buy the non Apple Silicon macbooks.

Your laptop does not have equivalent specs to the new ones :P No doubt yours will feel very slow compared to it running modern software.

I own the same laptop model, same year, also with battery that needs replacement. At well kept state they can reach 600 Euro (about $700 USD) on ebay in my country. Mine isn't well kept and I wouldn't sell anything with a battery in a bad condition so I have no illusion mine is worth even $400.

A new laptop with equivalent specs is probably a $300 Chromebook.

That thing is 7+ years old.

Don't be silly.
