The irony is that most corporate class hardware will last until well beyond obsolescence before breaking. I've heard people say they don't want to buy a refurbished ThinkPad because they're worried about longevity.
Those things will outlast any consumer grade laptop you buy today.

- flyinghamster 9y agoTrue indeed. I still have a T22 and a T30, mothballed. I'm not sure what I'd even use them for these days... and the batteries crapped out long ago. My T42 is also still useful enough to continue using, though its battery also succumbed to "always plugged in" syndrome. My current daily driver is an i7-equipped X201 Tablet. While I don't have much use for the pen-based tablet mode, it was still a very nice laptop for a very nice price. The X201 came with a good enough battery that I decided to set a maximum charge of 80% to (hopefully) make it last a few more years.
