I own a 2009 MBP and still use it for the few apps that aren't available on my other systems. My workhorse system is a desktop lotsa RAM, SSD + TBs of HD, triple monitors - and running Ubuntu on it is far better experience than the MBP ever was. When on the road, I use a ChromeBook or a Lenovo tablet (depending on whether I expect to type much). Gave up on iPad and iPhone years ago. I used to be an Apple fan, but since Steve Job's passing, the company has become yet another mega-corp chasing profits. The magic is no more.
