My macbook will be 5 years old Aug 2nd. This is my main computer and use it for hours every day.

Any one else using a first gen macbook as their main computer?

Mine's a later 1st gen Macbook, but I still use it every day and carry the thing around a lot. To be honest, I'll only upgrade my computer if it dies or it's no longer fast enough for the software I want to use.

Like all my laptops, I bought it second hand and haven't had any serious problems with it yet apart from the hard drive failing. The three Dells before it also didn't have a single problem.
