13" retina display base model or new iMac 21.5 base model. Which one will last longer?
If you need something portable then you should get the notebook. If you are going to be using it at your desk at home all the time than the iMac would be the better choice, as it has a better GPU and processor.

I think the iMac would last longer. Simply because you're not really gonna be constantly moving it, nor is there a chance to drop it or anything. If you have a drink by your macbook, and spill, you're done. If its on a keyboard, just go get another keyboard .
well, i did see people drinking over their desktops too... I wouldn't necessarily call it much safer, it really depends on the person ( he can still knock it over and have the thing smash to the ground you know ).
i doubt anyone can properly estimate the life expectancy of either machines... Instead of wasting time thinking about it, why not try to define your needs first? Do you care about portability? Do you care about a larger screen? Do you own a table at all? once you can answer these and similar questions, i think the choice will be quite an obvious one.
