Apple laptops have their share of woes (see the video issues on earlier Macbook Pros).

But, whatever the reason, Apple hardware tend to hold on to its value longer, without doubt.

I recently sold my 2010 13' Macbook Air, dented and with a cracked screen a for 300$ on ebay (and I expected more based on similar auctions), about 1/4 the price of a new model for a broken 4.5 years old model.

Technically you could just upgrade every year and recoup at least 60%-70% of the original price.
