almost makes me want to see what all the hype is about. 

I've always felt that Mac OS is "dumbed down"

Question for MB owners: are there any limits to the functionality when compared to windows? can it run "non-licensed" programs and can i do advanced stuff on it like I can on windows: programming, editing software codes etc.

desktop -->  since junior or senior hs

Too long..

 

[periwinkle]

I'd say I had my case for 4 years, inside the case is another story. Everything else other than a hard drive and my cd drive is less than 3 months old. Oh my speakers too those are also 4 years old.

 

[megatron]

stills runs

sony vaio only has like 700 ram

my 2011 macbook pro 15" though since mid march

[AZwildcats]

3 years ago I bought my Toshiba from Best buy on Black Friday. Still running strong

 

[kk sl1der]

Didn't know much about Macbooks last year when my college of engineering said not to get one.
Turns out that was BS, and a Macbook would've sufficed.

Anyways, I've had my Vaio FW since Aug. 2010, and I'm loving it. Will definitely have a MBP at some point in the next 3 years though

 

[itzjono]

Sony Vaio going strong after 6 years

Had an Dell since then as well but it was a POS, booted up my Sony after not using it for a year and worked great. Going to be getting a new one in the few weeks though.

^ So, you got a bootleg MacBook that costs almost the same? Nice.11 months. i7 15" MacBook Pro.My first Mac and I love it. I will never go back.

Had my HP Dv6000 for about 3 yrs now and pretty much everything in it has died at least once ... The only reason I still have it is because I used the money for a MBP to fix my car and I needed it to continue working on some music. Overall it's been a decent laptop and really nice to look at but all the hardware is pretty much crap as far a reliability.

 

[still1rise]

4 years. HP DV6000

 

[brandon3000]

iMac

<1 year. I usually find a good deal on a laptop, use it for a year, flip it on CL or eBay, and buy an upgrade that's about the same price as the one I sold.
Currently, I have a Sony FW series. It's probably the only laptop I've considered keeping for an additional year. It could easily fetch the same price that I originally purchased it for, but it fits my needs so perfectly I can't imagine selling it. Battery life is horrid though (it is a 17" laptop).
