> It's bulky and the battery's not what it used to be, but it's fast and the keyboard is great but after 8 years of hard use, a couple keys are wonky.

I think the 2013 model's entered Apple's vintage list [1], but if you can find an Apple Store willing to do battery service for it, the battery replacement comes with a full keyboard and trackpad replacement for $199 USD [2].

Hurry, though, because the 2013 model's likely to enter the obsolete list next year.

Thanks, that's great to know about! Unfortunately it's also experiencing random kernel panics, so I suspect there's more at fault here.


Are you using Hands Off as a firewall?

I experienced plenty of random kernel panics on my 2013 MacBook Pro (still going strong after battery service, and still my primary computing device), which went away when I switched to Little Snitch.
