I would like to know how long a good laptop should last. My Dell Inspiron 15 5000 is 4 years today and still going strong. I am planning on changing the original HDD(still works fine) to SSD and also upgrading the ram from 8gb to 16gb.I also feel like if I’m going to spend around 120usd on the upgrade, I might as well just buy a new laptop. These are the specs of the old laptop: Intel i5, 8gb ram, 2.4ghz. I am saying this because I don’t want it to die soon but not sure since it is four years old already. Please give me some suggestions.
What do you mean
I have an 11 years old one. Battery is dead. HDD was replaced by SSD. It is still working and it is connected to my tv
I use a Fujitsu T5010 from 2008. I bought it used in 2013 or so for $150. It works pretty much well enough, but I just got a pixel book from G, so I've been using that more.
Battery's going to bite the dust at this age, but you should be able to change it too. Other than that if it does what you want, fast enough and you like it, no reason to buy a new laptop just because of the age
