While there are cheap computers that don't last well, pretty much any computer at the price point of an Apple computer will last at least five years, in fact they will probably last several times that. Additionally, Thinkpads for example have full user service manuals and often support users repairing or upgrading parts such as RAM and storage that explicitly maintains the warranty.

That's awesome! I have been using a Linux-running Thinkpad at work for almost three years now and I absolutely love it. I didn't want my comment to sound like I'm saying Apple does it best. I just wanted to drive the point home that I don't think it's mainly the ecosystem that makes Apple devices fun to use. As a side note, I wasn't talking hardware that lasts 5 years. We all know most devices on the market now can pull that off, bar one battery-replacement. I was rather talking continued software updates, where iOS is certainly in the lead. Edit: just re-read your comment and you were talking Apple computers specifically. Oh well :)
