Barely relevant anecdotes:

My mom daily drives my old 2012 retina Macbook Pro. Neither of us have ever had any problems with it. So it's possible for macs to hit the 10+ year mark!

I also still use my X200 tablet (not as a primary machine anymore, but it decoratively runs Creatures Docking Station 24/7). No crumbling or even any signs of aging plastic. That thing is still a tank.

I owned a 2012 rMBP (the 15 with the proper quad core) and it was an absolutely excellent laptop. I had it as a secondary machine for design/music work but used it quite a lot, and sold it to a mate of mine who used it every day until it died around 2019 I think.

Is your tablet the one with the 400nit outdoor screen?
