technology How old is your computer?

[CastletonSnob 3,074]

Just curious, how old is your computer? Mine's 7 years old.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,534]

Over 8 years old, somehow still going fairly strong. I got my laptop for Christmas in 2012 and all I have ever added to it hardware-wise was a ram expansion, now having 8gb instead of 4gb. Really wasn't fond of it at first but I fully appreciate it these days for how much it has let me do and for how friggin' long it has lasted and is still going.

I got my PC in August 2020 at some point (so only had it for 7 months)

My laptop I've had a couple of years (though i slightly damaged it with coke, recently the sound only started working again, wi-fi and mobile data still doesn't), and it was already used (it came out in like 2012 I think)
I mean for what I need a laptop for, it does everything and more

[Rainbow Cloud 17,991]

I think I've had my current laptop for about 9 months now so still relatively new.

The good ol' mini has been with me for over 12 years. I don't use it as often anymore, but it still works.

[Northern Star 1,024]

Newest is 2, oldest complete and currently working is...18!? Long story short is we don't get rid of our old ones, they get repurposed for misc tasks.

My workhorse is about 6, if using the age of the parts, not the assembly date.

My current computer will be 2 years old in July.

My current gaming rig is hitting 2 years come May-ish. Considering getting better sound system as the speakers I have are getting rather old.

[Cash In 22,346]

My PC is technically three years old, but I only got it up and running around September last year. My other laptop will be six years old this year.

[PoisonClaw 8,164]

My laptop is around 6-7 years old by this point, and somehow it still works, though the battery might need replacing soon.

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

Mine is around one or two years old.

were you self building it?

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

Three years old laptop that I'm currently using, I don't see any reason to buy a new one so I'll be building a pc I might get a gaming laptop I mean my current one does have the capacity for gaming. It wasn't specifically marketed as a gaming pc but has powerful ram and cpu the graphics card is pretty decent as well. Main selling point however was the two terabytes of storage which is nice. Very good computer although again I had planned on building a rig as well just to have gaming pc specifically hehe.

Well, I got it from someone who built it themself, but it was barely functional. My dad and I fixed it up a bit and managed to get it up and running.

yeah, I'm going to get a couple of crucial upgrades for me to be able to enjoy gaming on my PC for quite a while longer, cause I can feel like mine is going to stuggle in around a year (plus Cyberpunk)

oh i see, well cool

[Cynthia Mintwing 2,216]

I'd say my computer is about 3 years old when I built it, but some of the parts are older than that.

i7-6700K and a Founders 1080 Ti.

 

The other computer I tend to use would be my 9 year old Macbook Pro.

[ExplosionMare 18,063]

My desktop is around 2-3 years old but I have a laptop that might be over 15 years old (it might be a little younger than that but I can’t remember).

[DubWolf 17,263]

Too old.

Desktop is 2013, running on Windows 10.

Laptop is 2012, running on Xubuntu. Was running on Windows 7 but there's an issue with the harddrive so I have to settle with this oddball OS. Wish I had Microsoft Paint... none of the other programs beat it as far as simplicity goes. Can't find a good duplicate of it.

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,403]

My computer is almost 2 months old, running games and YouTube videos smoothly  

[Astralshy 26,741]

I built my current computer at the end of 2011. With approaching ten years it's maybe time to rebuild.

[AppleButt 8,675]

Desktop is 3 months old and my laptop is like 2 years old 

[Magic Note 2,748]

My main desktop is 3 years old. My laptop is only 2 years old. The laptop is a replacement for the one I've had since 2012.

[baba_booey 4,302]

Built my current desktop in Summer 2019 - so almost two years old, although I bought my graphics card (an RX 560) in summer 2018. Been wanting to upgrade but I don't have a disposable income atm and even if I did graphics cards are being scalped to death at the moment.
