New Work MBP.
It's a mid-2012 model, so it's 4 years old. Apart from a little burn-in on the LCD, it's fine.

However, it only has 8Gb of memory and the new dev environment we're building requires several docker images and 8Gb isn't enough. Meanwhile, almost all of my colleagues had gone through upgrades already usually due to hardware problems.

New Apple reliability is weird
If you get a good 'un, Apple boxes last forever.

But once one starts failing, it never stops.

I was very grateful for the AppleCare on both my iMacs (both needed display, optical drive and discrete GPU replacements) - but my Mac Mini never missed a beat, and neither did my old G4 Digital Audio.

All my iPhones and iPods (2 x 6S+ (current - me and the missus), 1x 3G, original iPod touch, 20GB iPod Colour, 4GB iPod Nano) have been unfailingly reliable. Well, the 20GB was until I dropped it, which buggered the disc. Still, sold it on eBay for £100 - as spares!

There are 178 parent languages on our planet, with over 1000 dialects. It's amazing we communicate at all.
