My current MacBook Pro 15 inch working solidly for just over 2 years
professionally. I will run it for 3 before moving up (length of
Applecare warranty). It will go to my wife who currently uses a
Powerbook G3 Pismo first purchased in 2000, still going strong, though
pretty much useless for video,

My previous laptop Fujitsu N5010 lasted for 6 years - backlight
finally died. Otherwise it still works. My Sony laptop before that
lasted about 4 years. I must be bucking the stats a bit.

My daughter had an IBook G3 that she used in college for a couple of years. I
used it for three or four years after that. She dropped it a few times, and it
had some physical damage. The screen connection finally broke, but it had a
good, long life.

Hi Tanja - I wouldn't go near a Sony Vaio, a friend of mine had one which was
absolutely terrible to work with, and unreliable.
I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro S300 for A$1300 with which I am very
