I am still using a MacBook Pro from 2007... still runs the latest version of OS X (although I wonder if it is going to get dropped this next round).

Yes, it is slow compared to the newer machines, but it has lasted a hell of a long time!

I'm working fine on a late-2009 MacBook Pro, still pristine with <50 battery cycles, just lacking some RAM upgrade (still on 4gb). If I replace the HDD for SSD down the line, it will last even longer.

50 in four years? Wow, I have a new retina that I bought first day and its at 75. I thought I was not all that big on cycle counting my laptops.

You sir, win that award.

It's a late-2009 Macbook, it doesn't mean I've been using it for the last 4 years. I bought it second-hand, but the person didn't used it much :)
