I know this is a unusual question, but how long can a desktop computer last? I've seen computers last 20 years etc.
I obviously care for my hardware and do regular maintenance, replace broken parts etc, while most people just get rid of there hardware.
I built this computer around roughly 2015, hard drives failed, replaced them with laptop drives etc, it's gone through a lot of hardware changes, still has the original motherboard which is a crappy $50 board, has more ram, a I3 etc.
Just curious, how long can I expect my computer to last? I've had core 2 duo machines from 2006 last me a long time etc.
What about laptops? is 2 years roughly the life expectancy for laptops, or could it come upto 6 years if I replace the batteries, hard drive and ram?
