Hi all,
obviously a bit of a subjective question but curious how long people actively use theirs for and obviously usage will be a factor.
What prompts this question is a change of job, though I get a macbook, it's heavily locked down meaning I might need to get my own. I bought and old gaming msi laptop in 2011 which literally is falling apart...not quite sure what quality tests the chasis passed but whatever.
My main uses are online browsing and programming so I don't need much. I'm tempted to fix my old laptop which needs an SSD and now the battery isn't charging. I figure I might be better just making a new purchase?
So in essence, how long have your last two laptops lasted you?
