Who woulda thunk it? I spotted the 2008 MBP in a pawn shop four years ago & bought it mostly as a hobby Mac. At the time I also had a 2011 MBP & a 2011 MBA. The 2011 MBP died & was replaced by a 4k iMac. Now the 2014 MBA that replaced the 2011 model needs a new screen, so the “hobby” MBP becomes the best one untilthe current Air gets fixed.
