I got a white MacBook in 2006. My school bought it for me because they had to burn some money budgeted for disabled students (I'm deaf) and I was doing a correspondence course that required a computer. I bought it off the school minus depreciation when I graduated and used it for several more years. When I upgraded in 2011, I gave the white MacBook to my brother, who is still using it to this day. I replaced the ram, battery, hard drive and power cord (twice). The trackpad and screen hinge are a bit tired. But as a netflix/email/facebook machine, it's still providing my brother with reliable service after 9 years. I'm awestruck. Neither my brother or I is particularly gentle with our electronics, either. The 2011 MacBook Pro is also still running fine.
