I have an early 2011 13" Macbook that has been really good to me. I changed out to an SSD and put in 16gb of RAM, and it has been really good. This is my current everyday machine.

I also have a Toshiba i7 with 8gb of Ram that is running Windows 7. I have had that machine since before my Mac, probably at least 1-2 years as it was one of the first i7's Toshiba released in a laptop. That machine has also been awesome, and other than needing some extra cleaning of ports and the fan from dust to prevent overheating it has been super solid.

Pretty similar setup, 13" Macbook Pro (mid 2010) with SSD and 8GB of RAM. I've had to change battery one time, but other than that it works as expected.

I expect to get couple of more years of usage out of this.
