Aluminum MacBook (Late 2008). Got it on Dec 2008 and it's still working today. Six years old going on seven. I upgraded its RAM to 8GB (the maximum it can take) and installed an SSD. Still runs relatively well.

Although, I did have a few problems with it. Hinge cracked (fixed by warranty), optical drive broke (replaced with an HDD cage), got a bloated battery (bought a new one), charger wire got frayed so it stopped charging (bought a new one). I took really good care of it too. Never dropped it, never spilled anything on it. So those were unfortunate disappointments. But all in all I'm happy with the build quality.
