To repeat the cliche: the plural of anecdote is not data.
I am pretty sure that there are as many people with counter-examples.
E.g. I haven't had a Mac with issues since 2010. 2008: MacBook white: plastic starts discoloring, the rubber starts peeling. 2008: Mac Mini DVD drives gives the ghost after a year or so. 2009: MacBook 13" aluminium has broken DRAM SIMMs.
The whole article is one person's account. As is my comment. There might be others with counter examples, but learning from one's experiences is what humans do.
Yep - Still running an Early 2011 Macbook pro just fine here - had a motherboard failure but was repaired by apple under an extended warranty for that particular issue. Other than that, no issues.
I'm still running a 2008 Macbook Pro with no issues other than a battery replacement. I did upgrade the RAM and replaced the SuperDrive with a disk drive and the disk drive with an SSD.
