I just retired a MacBook Pro 2008 this year that my wife has been using daily since 2015 because its battery started swelling. That device started its life as my traveling work rig in late 2008 and served me well until 2015 when I gave it to the wife as her personal device. I think the total lifespan was just over 13 years from unboxing to retirement. Hundreds of flights that device traveled with me. Had two Dells, one lasted 18 months (cracked case). One almost 3 years (broken hinge). Bought a MBA 2018 and it works and looks as well as the day it was unboxed despite tons of time traveling.
