Time left - My Macbook (Life-span)

dear fellow mac users,

have replaced late 2006 white macbook (built , bought in april 2007) macbook pro. , girlfriend has taken on old macbook, thinking replacing harddrive , upgrading os in system (i have done ram , battery). started wondering, how long should expect macbook keep on going? hitting 5 year mark in near future , hate waste upgrade on going die soon.

besides "standard" cracked plastic on front seems working flawlessly. there anyway check actual condition or of have experience macbooks dying?

in advance advice.

regards,
nerq

 

well, 2007 mbp still going strong. heck, still use work. there's no reason why 2007 mb wouldn't suffice simple stuff.
