How old is your Mac or PC?

[dscross]

I still own a late 2007 Macbook. I'm soon going to replace with a new one for freelancing reasons. Thing is, it's still working perfectly fine. Security support is the only real reason to upgrade. I haven't even upgraded it while I've owned it - it's still brilliant. I recently did a clean install of OS X Lion and it runs like magic even after 10 years. I'll upgrade, just because I need better software for the job I do, but man, it makes you think. Longevity on these things man. I'm going pass it on to my family who I imagine will still use it for another 5 years.

Does anyone have a really old computer that they really don't see the point in replacing, even though it's not got the latest and greatest stuff.

I have a lappy468, and its about 5 years old. Its a good trooper. I'm not huge on current gen games, but I can play the games I want on it.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

My Macbook Pro is almost three years old and it's chuggin' along like a champ.

It's my everyday laptop and I use it too for work purposes. So it does go almost everywhere with me since there's a good chance that I will need it.

I do want to get a desktop so that I can play games since I want to keep those two separate at some point.

I have a HP laptop that's pushing 10, my ipad 2... I don't even know how old it is, I've had it since 2013 and it was used when I got it, and it works great when I want to watch something while I'm in the bathroom/doing shit around the house. My current PC, I built it around december 2014, and I only get into this kind of stuff when it's time to upgrade, so I don't even remember what's my current set up. All I know is it's a AMD CPU and AMD GPU because I've had terrible luck with Intel and Nvidia. It was pretty good 3 years ago and it still is, imo.

I'm in the same boat with a 2007 Acer Aspire, though I do need to update soon. The last version of Firefox supported by my system doesn't want to play MP4 videos, the video card (a GeForce 8600GT) died about a year ago, and newer software barely runs on this old junker. Plus the CPU's fan housing needs to be replaced.

I'm looking forward to a badly needed replacement early next year. Though I dread to wonder what software and features won't make the transition from Windows XP to Linux Mint. All my work software will be fine, but I've got older games I doubt have ports, and my experience with virtual machines has been pretty hit-or-miss.

Couldn't tell you. All I know is that I've had it for a bit over three years now and someone had it before I did.

My custom made pc is about over five or six years old.

 

[Sassafrass]

My CPU is about a month or two old, along with the motherboard, RAM and liquid cooler.
GPU is about a year or so old I think? Maybe two now, and the PSU is the same.
Both HDs are under a year old as I needed the extra space, then one died on me around the time I replaced the CPU and mobo.
Case is now the oldest thing I had from the original build, going on nearly 5 years.

 

[Addendum_Forthcoming]

My ATX case is like 16-17 years old. I had to beat parts of it with a hammer ... I'm not spending 50 dollars when all my current one just needed a little TLC with an angle grinder and drilling some new holes in it to fit some new parts.

My Inspiron 15 7537 Laptop is now 4 years old as of today. 2018 is probably the last year I'll be using it as well, before upgrading to another Gaming Laptop or PC.

My HP laptop is from 2008 but most of its components were upgraded or replaced since.
I built my main PC last year but mostly from scrap or used parts of various age, the oldest being the case from a Pentium IV. The rest is mostly from 2008-2010 with some new bits.

 

[sanquin]

Eh, my PC has different ages. I bought a new motherboard and an i7-3770 quite a few years ago. I swapped my 8gb for 16gb ram like...2~3 years ago, and I believe I bought my GTX 970 early last year. Plus I got a new case a few months ago at most.

I bought a full PC like 10 years ago, and ever since I've just been upgrading one or two pieces of hardware every now and then.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

My laptop is from 2012. I just assume it can't run anything until it does, so I'm always pleasantly surprised.

 

[Ironman126]

My PC is an eclectic menagerie of parts collected over the last 6 years. The oldest components in my PC are the motherboard and CPU, circa 2011. The GPU is like 8 months old.

I also have a Toshiba laptop that is ancient, like 2007 vintage. It, seriously, has trouble running Spotify. I don't like using it anymore, doing so is like watching a preview into my own inevitable decline into old age, obsolescence, decrepitation, and eventually death. Computers shouldn't trigger existential crises. At least not like that.

 

[mysecondlife]

I have a gaming rig that is pushing 3 years.
Surface Pro 4 at a span of 2 years.
A refurbished 2014 Macbook Pro that I got a month ago that is running rather well.

I also have a 2011 Macbook Air that I've used from time to time and a 3 year old linux laptop for when I want to try some linux related stuff.

Basically I have more computers than I can handle right now.

 

[Chimpzy_v1legacy]

My gaming PC will be 2 years old next April. No plans nor need to upgrade anytime soon.

My old gaming laptop is going on 5 years old now. It's mostly fine. Except the dedicated GPU. That's busted. Which is fine since it happened around the time I got my PC above, the integrated still works, so the laptop got relegated to "laze around on my bed watching movies/series" duty.

 

[Trunkage]

I got an APU 3.5 years ago. Always have trouble running games on it that isn't Fallout 4 (which miraculously ran almost perfect for well over 100 hrs.)

 

[RobertEHouse]

My custom PC machine is around ten years old as well, works well. With one of the original i7 no less, the old 970. Yet, never had a problem , as it ran EU4 and strategy games well.Editing programs worked just as well , though i am now thinking of upgrading as the processor i can see will become a bottle neck at some point.

I have Fujitsu laptop's from 2000 until now and still use it
