Just out of interest, is she still using the same HDD? I find that the performance of older MacBooks are pretty awful under recent version of Mac OS if the storage hardware is the older non-SSD drives. My old $work MacBook with a HDD was thankfully swapped out for a SSD version -- the difference was night and day. Though this SSD machine is starting to slow down noticeably with Big Sur...

Since 2012 the MacBook Pros switched to all Retina and all SSD so yeah it's got an SSD. Anecdotally my 2012 retina is still doing great, also on Big Sur. Battery is pretty shot though.

It's the Late 2013 retina model, with a 128 GB SSD.
