The computer had it's hard drive maxed out and 4 gigs of memory...ran like an old computer BUT never died on him (unlike the 4 laptops I went through)!
I took the old drive out and replaced it with a 250 ssd, doubled the memory to 8 gigs, and it's now running like a new computer (even with the old cpu). It will go for years! The only bummer is no retina display of course!
The integration of the OS with the hardware can not be bet and the latest free upgrade to Yosemite is really great. Runs fast and is visually amazing - highly recommended!

you have good points but those days are over. Now you are buying a very expensive laptop where nothing is up gradable on purpose. That does effect its long term viability.
