I just sold a 7 year old Macbook that I paid $799 (and got a free $200 iPod with at the time) for $350. The day before, I took it into the Apple store. It has been out of warranty for 6 years.
They replaced the Superdrive, replaced all the plastic and the keyboard. All the same day. Cost to me $0.
The week before I dumped a 4 year old Dell that cost quite a bit more than the Macbook for $200.
With Apple, you might pay more upfront, but they more than take care of you when you need it and if/when you decide to sell...you've got something people want and will pay good money for.
That said, I've built three Hackintosh desktops this year and will be doing that for as long as it's possible.
