I agree and will personally never buy another desktop. With laptops I budget them to last 3 years as my primary machine. I've owned 2 other MBPs, all of which are still in use by the people who I either old them to or gave them too. The original G4 PB is still kicking strong with a guy from work, my mom loves my old SR MBP, and my current i7 runs great to the point where I could see it lasting 5 years by simply replacing the HD with an SSD when prices are right.
