Perhaps it's because I have an old mac, but my Macbook pro from 2011, purchased in 2012 celebrated it's 10th birthday the other day. Yes, replaced the disk with bog standard SSD (not possible now, of course). Works still like a dream.
A word from the wise. Buy up any off the last macbooks you see being offered for sale. the ones with user replaceable ram and hard disks. These are going to be in great demand shortly. 2016 and older, perhaps. 2015 for sure. You WILL be able to sell at a profit if the kit was in any way looked after.
Perhaps soldering is going to be the next tech skill in demand, to remove and upgrade those damn mac hard disks.
