How often do you upgrade your MacBook Pro?

Doesnt it also matter what mbp you bought? If you buy it max specced, it can last you longer than an entry model mbp

I upgrade when the old computer can't perform the tasks I need to do. With memory and SSD upgrade, my late 2011 is doing just fine after more than 3 years. It replaced an older 17" that could only take 3gb of ram which was a killer for some of my uses. I don't see replacing my current MBP for a couple of years or until the GPU dies.

You can get the Radeon chip fixed until 02-2016... But tou knew thst already I guess.

Just like you I still use a 2011 MBP. 2.2 i7, 16gb RAM and SSD. It's fast enough! But I'm looking at a retina upgrade next year. 5 years is long enough
