My HP laptop is about four years old, but I don’t really use it much. My PC is about two years old and my Ipad is maybe four years old.
I don’t have problems with any of them, apart from a laptop which takes an absolute age to update itself, probably down to its small RAM and slow HD.

I have a couple of desktops and several laptops. The laptop I use most of the time is a Dell just over a year old. I also have a netbook several years old, as slow as a wet weekend that I use when I travel overseas. A couple of other laptops are unused except by visitors.
My desktops are older and used for different purposes, both are Lenovos, the newer one is a Legion gaming desktop, why I bought a gaming desktop I don’t know. It is a few years old but happily running Windows 11.
However it is currently driving me up the wall since I discovered that the Ethernet adapter is stuck at 100Mbps, nothing I can do seems to shift it, my other desktop is connected to my LAN at 1Gbps. The manufacturer says it is 10/100/1000 but I have upgraded drivers etc yet it still it only connects at 100. I have tried to force the duplex to 1000 but then it tells me the cable is not connected.
It is getting to the stage where I will connect it via wifi or buy a new adapter. So annoying. Not happy Jan.

My HP laptop is 4 years old, not one problem with it. I do my own maintenance, and updates regularly. Recently, I updated to Windows 11, so far no issues.

I have an eighteen month-old 17" Acer notebook with 16 Gigs RAM running on W11 and am completely satisfied with it which I was not anymore with the seven y.o. one I had before. Never had a quieter device.

sorry can’t give any personal details about any of the staff working for me atm?- yes all desktops and laptops are classified as staff in this household
Coincidentally I was pottering about today when I noticed an old computer lurking near my useful electrical things box, dug it out and discovered it contained four 2Tb HDDs which I recovered as well as the power supply and some cables.
One of the drives was buggered - obviously the C: drive from the contents of of the other three drives. Smashed faulty drive with a hammer and it, together with the case, went in the bin (it’s garbage day in the morning).
Formatted the other three drives and installed one of them in my main desktop. I don’t actually need the space but it might come in handy, who knows?

I went a bit mad earlier this year, bought two laptops: one biggie, HP, for watching Netflix and a tiny one, MS, very portable. Binned the W10 Lenovo.
