My "just won't die" laptop is my trusty MacBook Pro 2012 pre-retina. I have owned it for 8 years and it is still perfectly usable. I can get it to run Ventura with OCLP and honestly, it is only that I now really, really need something with Apple Silicon for dev work that I am considering an upgrade. It is a beast and I believe it even has the original battery (I got it used, so not 100% sure.)
