I still have my 2012 MBP with the nearly-dead battery, but for daily work I'm just using a $200 Samsung Chromebook 3 with Termux. Yes, I can't run everything, and it's quite slow, but as a result I end up spotting performance problems I wouldn't otherwise.
Bought a pixelbook to replace my 2015 macbook. It's been a great experience. Crostini is great (as is having Android apps). You can now find the low-end model for $750 everywhere these days.
A little slower, but I have fast desktop machines for when I run into those kinds of tasks.
I'm waiting a couple more months to see what happens with Apple, but I'm almost certain my next laptop will be a high end Chromebook. With crostini I would have all I need.
