How old is your Macbook?!

[kilroythedon]

I have a MacBook from Feb. 2007, it has been running well however it makes these loud noises when its on for too long. I replaced the battery one time and I have to get a new replacement one soon. I wouldn't mind getting a new one its just that this one still works but I am taking 18 credits this semester so the last thing I need is for this thing to fail me mid semester. How old are some of your MacBooks?!

My mac book is a mid 2007. I'm actually trying to buy a new laptop this weekend. Going back to pc I don't have new mac book money. I dropped it in November of 2011 and now the battery can't be charged so I have to keep it on the charger at all times.

Just copped a 13 inch Macbook Air (8GB, I7, 256 SSD)

What PC are you thinking about getting? 

 

[kilroythedon]

Currently running a mid-2012 Air, i5/8GB/128GB

I was thinking about getting an air, no issues? honestly just need it for light web browsing and word documents. When my fan kicks on this one its loud as hell.

Bout to give the MB it to my little brother for college since he's doing Journalism

A Lenovo. I dont feel like spending big money on a laptop anymore when all I use it for is to BS on the internet and maybe word process. All I want is a decent amount of RAM so stuff doesnt move slow and I'm good. They got Lenovos for 3Hunna

Got mine in the summer of '07. It's been awesome, all except for the hard drive going out on me back in '11. It's always awesome to lose 4 years worth of design work from college and afterwards. I wasn't able to get anything off of it >:

I was running a blackbook from 2008 until last year. I didn't treat it so great, so stuff started to go out. It still turns on, but the trackpad(?) doesn't click anymore. I replaced the display and I don't think it was put back properly . I am currently on a 13" retina.

Bought mine in January 2012, but it's a late 2011 model.  Works fine, but I still use a PC for my daily tasks...

15" MBP from 2008

13" MB from 2010.

MBP for music production & MB used for everyday surfing/occasional word docs. Don't use MB as much since I got my iPad though, but other than that they're both working fine.

My MacBook from around 2005 is still running but it's on its last leg. I gave it to my moms years ago. I use a MacBook that I bought last year and it is working alright albeit I only use it on weekends. My iMac is also on its way out. Kinda tempted on getting a pc desktop.

 

[waitwut]

judging from this thread looks like macbooks have a life span of about 4 years

 

[a blinkin]

Got an '09. Runs like a gizzem.

 

[timelessflight]
