I’ve been ‘going retro’ for years now with my cameras, but I remain on the cutting edge of my computing devices.
I lease an iPhone, which means I get to replace it every year. I upgrade my Apple Watch every two years.
My personal laptop is currently an M1 MacBook Air. I’ll probably try to run it into the ground, but my upgrade cycle will be determined by when it no longer allows me to work effectively.
Meanwhile, the newest dedicated camera I use is a digital mirrorless Fuji that I bought in 2016. I also regularly use a 35mm SLR, medium format SLR, 4x5, and 8x10 that range in age from 20 years old to 70 years old.
Pick technology that allows you to work effectively. If you can do that on some six year old tablet, then Godspeed. I can’t imagine working on a slow computer, but I also don’t understand the point of buying the latest and greatest Sony full frame mirrorless camera.

Could you give me an idea what gets significantly better at each upgrade? (not trying to criticize your choices: I checked the current models and did not find anything particularly compelling for my use cases... but I wonder if I am maybe missing something without realizing)
