Razi, I was stereotyping and pointing out what I feel about specific groups of people who do the Apple vs Windows products nowadays.
My friend had her Powerbook for over 8 years, bringing her through some of the most heavily utilised periods of her life (pre-u and university) so I can understand the durability. The only reason she upgraded to a MBP was because new programs she want to use no longer support the old OS.
It has been argued that the quality of the physical build may have gone down of late, but the software and its compatibility with hardware (especially memory) is still pretty awesome. My hard drive did die TWICE in its first TWO years, but I was overly rough with it and moving it around before it goes to sleep completely (which would take 5 seconds off my life each time). I was too cheap to spring for a SSD, but have used a bit more brain in terms of hard drive care and no problems since then.
