Usually Jul 13

There's no usually! It depends on how the system works... or not.

Last year I bought a laptop Jul 14

Probably the last time I will spend money on hardware.

My desktop computer is nearing the end of its life - still works fine, but updates will no longer be provided. But it is more than 10 years old, an I am not sure how old my previous laptop is/was. My son is revamping it completely for someone else to use!

The idea is that at some point I will go over to only using the new laptop.

This year Jul 15

This year I bought a laptop. EUR 900. But in other years my hardware costs related mostly to buying the odd external hard drive or flash drive, or replacement mouse or keyboard, so I usually do not spend more than EUR 300 per year.

I spend about 400 EUR on a laptop that lasts for 4-5 years. Than i buy new one again and the cycle goes for on and on.
