Boot Camp indeed.
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports), 2.3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5, 8 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3.
Original battery.
What made me suspicious is the low number of power cycles. I'm using this MacBook for almost over 3.5 years now.
I have mid 2012 I used everyday until April 2020
It just started showing service battery w/ cycle count of 461 and 8 years of use as my daily driver.
Y0u can prolong the life expectancy of the battery—following the general rule:
If you are near the mains leave it plugged in, if you need portability then run on battery.
Batteries can fail at any time, yes you have an expected 1000 cycle count, but it does not always pan out that way.
