Is it worth changing the battery and ssd of a MacBook Air (11-inch, Early 2015) or completely buying a new laptop?

MacOS Big Sur is compatible with MacBooks back to 2013, so a 2015 model will most likely get another year or two of updates.
@MarcusBeatitudes If you are choosing between replacing the battery and buying a whole new laptop, I would go with the battery replacement. If that is the only problem you have it doesn’t make much sense to get a whole new laptop, and batteries are not too expensive. You are also lucky in that the battery is only held in with a few screws and is really easy to replace, the MacBook Pro batteries are held in with adhesive and you have to use acetone or adhesive remover to loosen the glue, not a fun job with those.
