Default Changing it up

When you purchased your laptop, how long were you planning on keeping it? When I was buying, I was picturing only owning it for two years before upgrading.

I bought the laptop mainly for travelling with, but I've found it makes a great backup as well for if there are issues with the main desktop PC!

I ran my last PC until it literally went blank. Since I use everything until it is worn out including cars, clothes, and shoes, I figure I'll do it with the laptop as well.

Laptops can be used as maximum as 2 years, it is like a desktop computers where you must upgrade the parts, whether you used it always or not.

I was hoping to get more than two years out of my laptop. It seems like it would be cheaper to buy a new one when you need. I've heard the screen usually goes out first, is that true?

Some laptops the screen got the problem first, they get blurred, some got have lines on LCD's or burn like.
So its better to buy a new one to be sure that it has a warranty. And if there is a big problem on it they can replace it immediately
