If you’re sole purpose is web browsing and not entering in personal info, then these older devices work well. But, many of these brands stop supporting updates depending on how old the model is and this can cause a ton of security issues. While these devices last long, they don’t always support the functionality for all users.

Yes, you’ll have to replace the battery a few times, and re-install and/or upgrade the operating system once or twice. Consumer grade garbage from a big box store will very often develop permanent problems before 10 years. I have an HP laptop from 2010 that I still use frequently – and its hardly an exception, there are plenty out there like it.
