desktops also last longer. i've never had a laptop last more than 4 years.

I'm currently on my third laptop right now (bought near the end of 2015). My first 2 laptops both lasted for about 4 years.

I'm on my 3rd laptop since 2005 but that number is skewed slightly because I replaced my laptop within the last year.

Laptop 1 2005 > 2010 (~$550)
Laptop 2 2010 > 2016 (~$700 but a manufacturer refurb. New like $950)
Laptop 3 Nov 2016 ($900 but a manufacturer refurb. New like $1300)

And I should say that they didn't break, they are both still fully functional to the point where I can go boot them up and play games with them. Never had to replace a part on any of them either (I upgraded the RAM in Laptop 2 but that's it)

I actually felt bad buying my new laptop in 2016 because of how well the previous laptop still works (Plays FFXIV just fine), I just saw a good deal on a new one so bought it. I should probably use Laptop 2 for streaming stuff to my TV or a server or something because it's still a pretty decent laptop given it's age.
