- username42 13y agoOlder macs were more robust. I think this is one reason of the failure of apple against microsoft: when you have a computer that enables you to do your stuff without problems or failures, you do not need to replace it by a new one. Microsoft has understood how to earn a lot more money by selling half broken products that people want to replace by better ones. Maybe, this was not intentional. btw, this post is risky for my karma, but I am always suprised to see very old mac still frequently used.

- username42 13y agoYou think so ?
- stephen_g 13y agoThe aluminium Unibody MacBooks are extremely robust in my experience. I've treated my early 2011 MBP pretty badly and all it has to show are two tiny dints... The glass covering is way easier to clean than my old plastic Mac laptops, and most of their plastic cases are cracking.
