If your laptop can only handle three years or normal wear and tear, either it's not very sturdy or you're unusually rough with it. I've personally never owned a MacBook so I can't say which.
Three years is also not a long time considering the price of a MacBook. The basic model starts at $1299 [1]; $400/year for computing is a lot of money.
My two year old Chromebook is definitely a piece of crap; the motherboard is warped from having dropped it on carpet (carpet!) once, and the monitor has scratches caused by the keyboard. But that's okay, because I bought a very low end model that only cost $200.
