Obviously it depends on things like how often you use it, etc. and maybe the
new ones are better, but on the older ones the keyboards and trakpad areas
get very dirty if it used as your daily work computer. Using an external
keyboard and mouse helps, but defeats the purpose of a laptop ... assumming
the person using actually wants a laptop rather than just a fashion acessory
that sits on a desk plugged into a wall power socket 100% of the time.
