I have PC desktops from 2009 that are still functional. In contrast, I have gone through three printers since then and in fact I no longer own one. See also mobile phones/tablets with annoying 18-24 month lifespans before they develop pathological HW issues and/or just die, usually a few months before their contract is up.
- vardump 11y agoI have a PC from 2007 that is not only functional, but reasonable even now. 2.4 GHz Core2Quad Q6600, 16 GB RAM, Nvidia 8800 GTS. 120 GB SSD replaced original hard disk. Still snappy to use. It's disappointing how little things have improved in 8 years.

I am about to replace it but it had incredible value for money. while waiting for the next intel cpu iteration I got a cheap samsung 850 and it feels like new!
