Only reason I didn't switch yet was that my 6 years old Laptop still holds perfectly well and it would be counter productive to just change to a new device for no reason but the brand and that it is new

What is your 6 year old laptop's make?

[–] Kyoyeou@slrpnk.net 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

An Asus UX550GE, tbh with time my usage of a laptop has diminished, that's it's still enough today too

I'm on an Asus UX410U and he's been going well for 7 years. I'll probably need to replace it this year or next year as the screen is starting to go, but I feel 7 years is pretty good.

My t440s is 10 years now. Still going strong as my main and only computer. Although, those frame.works's look really nice.

You could always pass it on to someone who can't afford a new one, a school student for example
