My 4 year old personal desktop PC agrees with him in full. My shitty work laptop that the big corpo paid less than $400 for, it screams every second for an upgrade: it takes 10 seconds to open VSCode without any project vs less than 2 seconds and it can barely paint the external monitors when moving a browser window or resizing it. It is also 4 years old.
I expect to replace the desktop components in a few years when something breaks. Broken CPUs due to age are extremely rare, but mainboards with bad contacts for memory are pretty common, I've seen a lot that don't work that well after 8-10 years. I don't expect a desktop PC to work forever, the PSU will break in 10 years anyway, the SSD will reach write limit (I did a few already). But right now performance is not a concern.
