Average life of a laptop?
I don't belong here (read: I've never posted here), but I'm wondering what you all think the average life of a laptop is for casual use?

depends:
just for web surfing? at LEAST five years
gaming? 4+
the technology of the laptop should become obsolete before it bytes the dust. otherwise, waste of money ::cough dell cough::
DH formatted my work laptop for home use after I got a desktop here. It was a Dell bought new in 2004 and it still works perfect. The only thing i've had to replace on it is the battery and keyboard (which DD spilled soda on and it got all crusty. lol)
It's used for internet mostly, some photo editing, and DD watches movies on it occasionally.
Well my first laptop lasted for 3 years, then I bought Mac and it has lasted for almost 5 years. So I would say 3-5 years. But then again, it?s not about how long laptop lasts, but how soon it becomes obsolete against upcoming technology. Every new gadget turns out to be faster, sleeker and better.
