Aren't people keeping their PC's for far longer nowadays?
In my experience they are far less brittle and far more capable than they used to be and we spend most of our time either running web browsers on them.
- brnewd 4y agoYep, still on an 8 year old laptop with no signs of slowing down.
- endorphine 4y agoWhat laptop is it, if you don't mind? Also, what kind of work are you doing on it (if any)?
- brnewd 4y agoIt's an Acer Nitro VN7 with 1TB SSD and 16GB RAM running Ubuntu 22. Workload is mostly vscode web development (Node.js), Gimp, OBS, VMware player for running macOS to test sites on various iOS simulators. Browsing and watching Netflix. Reasons to upgrade would be battery life and a brighter screen.
