I've always heard it was based on the software/virus issue not being as common in Macbooks as to their longevity!

I bought my macbook in 2008 and honestly right now its falling apart, You would think it was over 10 years old. I has had to be repaired a few times ,has crashed multiple times including the very first day I got it and now a days macs can get viruses too. also the power cable had lots of problems and needed to be replaced constantly until they redesigned it. And it costs $80 for such a short power cable!. So I dont think its better or lasts longer than a Pc but I still prefer it and will buy another macbook (pro this time) soon.
Their customer service is great though!

If the MacBook Air has an integrated battery, not sure it can equally compare to MacBooks that don't. I did have to replace my MacBook Pro battery once in the 5 years I've had it... If I recall correctly, I think it was only around $100 to replace.

I never heard either that MacBooks are reputed to last longer than PC's... We have both in our house.

Many PC laptops are kinda shoddy... I bought one from Dell that never even worked!

Like a fool I didn't even open the box it came in til a month after it arrived, and by then the no hassle guarantee had expired ugh. They sent over 2-3 guys to fix it under warranty, but none of them knew what they were doing and I was never able to use the laptop at all.

Laptops are a lot harder to make than desktops, because there's a lot less space in the laptop and overheating can be a real issue. A huge number of PC makers have stumbled with bad laptops...
