For whatever reasons, I think the iMacs age better than laptops. My 2006 MBP feels a lot slower than desktop machines of the time. I remember all the way back to the gumdrop iMacs. In OS8.6/9 those things actually seemed quite sprightly even after a few years. No one would ever want to go back to those screens, which were average at best, even then, but the machines themselves ran well.
