    Surface pro 9 won’t get replaced until the 30s

      Just don’t buy cheap shit

      For a lot of people that’s easier said than done, shits expensive yo

      That said, I had bought a Sony Vaio in 2012 that just crapped out last year, and I replaced it with an upper end Lenovo Thinkpad that’ll hopefully get similar mileage. Same with phones, I bought a OnePlus 8 Pro in 2020 that is still humming along seamlessly. Before that, I had a Nexus that I had had forever (and kept working thanks to CyanogenMod/LineageOS).

      There’s a huge benefit in buying high quality stuff in that they usually tend to last a lot longer than middle of the road/low end. Then again, I’m extremely thankful that I’ve worked my way into a financial position to do so. But alas, it’s Vimes Boots Theory at work.

        I still have a 2011 MacBook Pro at home, trucking along running Monterey like a champ. Absolutely solid little machine, that, but it ought to be considering how much I paid for it back then.

      My Asus laptop from 2011 is still running with Linux. But, it’s time to change this one after 12 years.

      It cost me a huge amount of money at the time but worth it.

      I’m not following — what’s the cheap shit you’re referring to here?

      It’s cool that you were able to keep your Surface for so long though. I wish more people would hang onto their tech until it actually needs replacing.
