Similar in experience here. I bought an X201 a few years ago. I fed it an SSD when they made finincial sense and a new 9-cell battery once a year when the capacity drops to ~60%. I wear out a keyboard every 3 years or so which is a 5 minute job to replace. I can't see myself buying a new machine for at least 3-4 years. Edit: to add context, my wife's 2013 MBP already needs a new battery but that's glued in and they want to charge me to replace it. It hangs off the charger all day with only short disconnects to move it around. And the space bar only works on one end.
