For how many years do you use your laptop or computer for doing online work, especially the computer you use at present ? What is the brand/make of the computer ?

Do you know what is the reason why laptop is becoming slower, is it because there is less hard disk space or is the RAM is not sufficient?

I bought my laptop 10 years ago. It is a bit slow so I think that it is time to buy a new one.

I thought that was the case. So I deleted everything in my laptop. All the videos and the apps and only remained with chrome. But still it's slow.

Funny thing is that I've not used a laptop for a year straight. I always love to change or get something better than what I'm currently using.

I believe my laptop should be going a year plus right now, though it was not a brown new one so I don't know how long the person before me has used it.

I think 5 years, and it's a secondhand. I have another secondhand though which was bought by my wife.

Insufficient hard disk space can contribute to decreased performance as it limits the amount of data that can be stored and accessed efficiently. Similarly, having insufficient RAM can also impact the laptop's speed, as it affects the system's ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously.

Wow, that's pretty impressive though, what is the normal lifespan for a laptop? I know for smartphones, it is usually normally around three or four years. Once it gets to this time, there would be lots of degrades.

Great, you've been able to use your laptop for three years time. It's a good idea to start saving up for a new one, especially if you rely on it for work.

I have used by HP laptop for the past five years and it is still looking strong.

I think the duration of 2 years is reasonable for a staff to make impact that they deserve salary increase.

HP laptops are known for their durability and longevity. It's impressive that yours is still going strong after five years.
