Still running a 2007 Santa Rosa MBP.
It's been through 2 hard drive upgrades, 2 battery replacements, a logic board replacement, superdrive replacement, and a screen replacement.
But it's in flawless physical condition and runs fantastic.
The screen replacement was 1 month after my Applecare expired but Apple agreed that I shouldn't have to pay 70% the cost of a new computer to replace the screen on a machine that suffers from the dreaded 8600 graphics card curse and might not last much longer. Since my warranty had just expired and my computer had not really lived up to it's professional name with all the repairs it needed, they did it on their dime.
