I personally have an ancient 2007 Mac Pro thats still running nicely, and can still compete with todays pcs, and I also have a Thinkpad t61 I keep in the living room so I can watch youtube or check email. Though its one of the most easily takeapartable (Made up a Word!) laptops I've ever owned the customizability of my Mac pro is astoundingly easy and I don't feel like I'm breaking it when I upgrade ram or put in a new hardrive. That being said my mom has an HP elite from 2010 that I can't figure out how to get into, which sucks because It's fan is making noise and I need to clean the thing out, but still that things specs are still ahead of current high end laptops. Though at school I need to have constant internet so my ipad becomes my lifeline there.
