I still have my 2008 plastic Macbook refurb that I still use to browse the web. I had the pre-release Win 10/64 on it for a while, and it actually ran faster than OSX did on that machine (in my experience, Windows runs faster on Mac than OSX itself, but ymmv). And keep in mind that my Macbook pretty much got left behind by OSX after Lion.

I was reasonably happy on my bosses plastic Macbook until OSX stopped supporting them, and I need xCode for my job.

I now have his non retina Macbook pro to compile apps, and i fear the day that stops working too.
