Two data points: I continue using a 2009 MacBook Pro, because for me its keyboard has a better feel than the more recent notebooks. Except for high-end Lenovos, I find notebook keyboards (and trackpads) very poor quality compared to the old Apple keyboards. On my main desktop system I use an old Lexmark (aka IBM) clicky clacky keyboard from the PC/AT era. I have yet to wear it out. I tried using it in an open office setting but my co-workers complained about the noise. I grudgingly used a Logitech until I moved into a private office -- I just close the door.
