I received a work laptop maybe 4 years ago now and stopped using my own personal/college Macbook Pro that I had for about 5 years up to that point and had been working fine. After about 6 months I tried to start it again but the battery was probably completely flat at that point. I didn't mind too much as I could use my work laptop anyway.
