I'm looking at buying the mid-2010 MacBook 7,1. I'm a Mac novice, so I was wondering how much more life you believe this machine would have?

I'm a writer. Would only be using it for word processing, uploading videos to YouTube and surfing the Internet. Nothing too high tech.
 
I still use a 2008 MacBook for everything. Gaming, light video editing, word processing, movies, YouTube, web browsing, etc. I plan on using it for the next couple of years, and the only upgrade I see myself doing is bringing the ram from 4 to 8gb. As long as you Max out the ram you should be fine for years to come!
