I grew up replacing all my devices every three, four years because whatever you bought after three years it was ancient. My current laptop is six and a half years old (T440s bought on the day it became available) and is still very competent machine (after I hacked it to support LTE). I will probably replace it in a year or two and I can imagine this could be given away to somebody with need and it could be used productively for many years to come. With 4 cores, 12GB of RAM and 500GB SSD not many people will find it lacking as a work laptop (with built in graphics it was never meant for gaming or graphics work). Now, I think this is way more green than any recycling program. The laptop is built to last and in perfect condition.
