My desktop computer has been running for a decade now and still serves its tasks well. I’ve never even updated the RAM. It’s basically just starting to show its age at this point.

Now to be fair it was custom, so I got top-end parts rather than cheap ones and assembled it, and packed it with more RAM than I needed at the time since that’s what tends to show its age earlier. So it was intended to last maybe 6 years without an upgrade.

But I also have a standard laptop that I’ve kind of lost track of the age of. I think it’s like seven years old and I still use it daily and travel with it.

I never would have imagined that these would last so long. I used to change computers far more frequently- they got so much better so quickly back then even for straightforward stuff. I’m not really pushing them with intensive gaming or processing activities, but still.
