Lifetime of a Macbook Pro?

I have done a fair bit of research in to this, but I have found conflicting answers. I have a 2012 Macbook Pro that I use daily for school. Last year it "crashed" twice, and each time I had to pay to get different parts replaced because I need a working computer. The technician working on it said "it could be the age" that's causing the problem. I try to keep up with software updates, I am currently running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6, and that seems fine, I think its the hardware itself.

I have read that for other laptops 3-5 years is the usual lifetime range, but forums on Macs specifically say they can last a fair bit longer. I can't go another year worrying about the reliability of my computer, but I definitely don't want to spend the money for a new one if I don't have to. Does anybody know what the usual lifetime on a Macbook Pro is?

“Usual”, “average”, ”normal” are just that. Your can’t take those and apply them to a specific item.

The answer to your question is that no one can tell you how long your particulal MacBook will last.

Hi LemonBox64:

Here is a list from Apple as to what computers are now vintage or obsolete. Vintage and obsolete products - Apple Support

Lifetime appears to be about 5 years.

Looks like your computer has another year.
