ive never had any problem (like those detailed in rossmans video) with my macbookpros ever.
I have seen everything in his video multiple times, Chris, you are very lucky, many "average" users that do NOT abuse their macbooks come in all the time with dead machines.
Only Mac book airs are low powered enough to run at reasonable temps, they run cooler and do not die as othen as macbook pros; from Titanium and up, many laptops get damn HOT after only 2 or 3 hours on; so... if you do music recording or video editing, multiply your chances for video artifacts or death at least double. Compare that with HP elitebooks, and probooks, and they run at least 30 degrees cooler. Heat is the killer. Almost every 2008/2009 macbook pro that comes in for SSD upgrade or RAM, has "heat cracks" all over the black hinge cover from nuclear exhaust. It amazes me that for the price of macbook pros they have never been able to make a unit that comes even close to lasting half the age you can get out of a G3 Powerbook. I have never seen, and I mean NEVER seen a G3 Powerbook or earlier die of heat damage or an inherit design flaw. Apple does not engineer for long life anymore; that is just a fact at this point.
Mac Minis run much cooler than laptops, but it is rare to get a nice fast dual quad core in the mini wold; many are dual core i5s and even dual core i7s which suck when you need cores for Video/Audio.
So... the best Mac ? Even made ? That is intel ? You already guessed it, a used Mac Pro cheese grater, even one from 2008 (8 Core) geeks good enough to do many many Audio tracks and more than enough video lanes. Cost today... about $100 bucks you will find them, invest another $200 in an SSD and OWC PCIe SSD Card and BAM, a great machine. Many Mac Pro 1,1 2,1 and 3,1 are still alive today and some are even ewasted. Even the 1,1 2006 machine can be made into an 8 core for less than $60 and it will geekbench past a 2014 Core i5 (dual core) mini and you can get it up to El Cap with a firmware update and $25 Graphics card.
If you need a laptop, many "hacintosh" laptops are at 90% functionality, but are not the easiest to get going; although, every year they get easier and easier, they will outlast Mac hardware by far and cost only 20 to 45% of the macbook
