The great thing about Apple devices — particularly the Macbook Pro and Macbook Air — is that they are built to last. When you invest in one of these machines, you know that you will be getting years of use out of them before they need to be replaced. But, as with all electronics, all good things will eventually come to an end, and you will need to invest in a new laptop. If you aren't sure what signs you should be looking for, there are a few general guidelines to help you out.

Here are a few signals that you need a new laptop:

• Apps are sluggish: Every computer user has apps that they frequently rely on, whether they are a gamer or are on social media constantly. If the apps and files on your computer are much slower than they used to be and are frustrating to use, that is a sign of a Macbook in decline.
• Battery no longer charges: One of the biggest ways you can determine the health of your laptop is by how well the battery charges and holds the power. If the battery starts to rapidly lose its charge soon after being unplugged, then it is time to consider investing in a new machine, because the internal parts are past their prime.
• You can't run new features: If you get to a point where the system you have can no longer support new updates from Apple — such as the upgraded OS X Lion or Snow Leopard, you should strongly consider a new machine.
