2004 PowerBook G4 17", then upgraded with first MacBook Air, and have had a few MBPs since then.
12 inch PowerBook G4
This was my second laptop. I only had it for about 6 months and it got stolen at the hospital. Replaced it with the first 13 inches white macbook.
First ever was a beat-up used Powerbook 520 as a toy to experiment with. First one I bought for actual use was the Powerbook G4 ('03 Titanium), which became my longest running notebook of any with about 6 years of daily service.
I do like it a lot. The portability is excellent, the screen is great. Just getting used to the butterfly keyboard and the MacOS. Actually I got it for my wife to replace a 4 year old 12" Fujitsu notebook, but I use it as much as she does when I'm at home

Powerbook 145b! The trackball with 2 buttons for a trackpad... However, it was short-lived, as the dog caught the cord, and since it didn't have magsafe, the whole laptop ended up across the room... Never booted up again...
Then still my favorite looking laptop Powerbook G3 Pismo... Looked cool, the texture of the outside was "grippy"
This question got me thinking about all the Apple laptops I've owned... Uffda!

Half of a iBook g4, I say half because it had no screen and only part of a case, it was just a logic board powered up to a CRT.
Late-2008 unibody MacBook. Still running it with its original 160GB HDD without any issues, typing on it this post.
A 2010 1.4Ghz C2D 2GB 11" MacBook Air. Takes me back, looking through my email it seems that I bought in in February 2011 and sold it again in May 2011 on the account of it being utterly slow 😁
The first one model with the LED-backlit display — MacBook Pro 15” (Mid/Late 2007, 2.4 GHz, 2 GB, 160 GB).
A very long time ago, I upgraded its memory to 4 GB, and replaced HDD to SSD. And it is still fluttering.
Unfortunately, now it only supports OS X El Capitan 10.11 (with a lack of the Optimize Mac Storage option).

2006 Black MacBook. It was a small little deviation Apple decided to do at the time and never really went back to. I like that Apple occasionally does things like that.
