2 people have given me original 2008 aluminum macbooks (the original brick). Maxxed RAM and added SSDs, and I really can't find a competitive reason to buy another computer. My 11 yo son bought an Asus flip simply because he didn't realize a 2008 Macbook was about to show up out of nowhere, and he uses the Flip, mainly because it's his and I think he likes that it's smaller, more his size. But, yeah, I have the original rMBP and can't bear the thought of upgrading. Any new gear would be more painful than it's worth.
