The difference between a laptop computer and a desktop computer is that the upgrades that can be performed on a laptop computer are limited, especially for novice users who are not very familiar with the structure of the computer. There is a lot of room for upgrading the various parts of the desktop, the graphics card can be upgraded, the CPU can be upgraded, and the heat dissipation can also be upgraded. In contrast, notebooks have much smaller space for use. Under normal circumstances, how many years is the lifespan of a notebook?
In fact, if there are no accidents such as collisions, breaks, or water ingress, a CPU can have a lifespan of more than 20 years. The longest lifespan CPU in the world has been in service for 40 to 50 years. The current motherboard technology is quite mature, and many manufacturers have a three-year warranty. In fact, it is not a problem for ten or eight years. In fact, there is no such thing as a bad use of the memory, only if it is enough or not, the failure rate is very low. The lifespan of a solid-state drive is related to the number of reads and writes, but basically it is not a 24-hour download and upload of videos, and the probability of using it is extremely low. The current life of the laptop monitor is about 3W hours, and it can be used for three years if it is turned on for 24 hours.
The biggest weakness of notebook computers is the battery. Generally, the performance degradation of the battery is more obvious in 2-3 years, and the battery life can be extended by replacing the battery. There are also many mentions that mechanical hard drives can be replaced with SSDs, or they can be used for another three to five years. Therefore, there is no exact figure for the lifespan of laptops, and some people even use laptops 10 years ago. Even for daily office work, some people still use notebooks from five or six years ago, which is quite smooth.
But we all know that while the hardware is being updated, the software is constantly increasing its consumption of hardware. The service life of your laptop has nothing to do with whether it can be used or not, but whether it is good or not. For example, system upgrades and commonly used software upgrades require higher and higher computer performance. Those who do not understand computer upgrades and maintenance may change computers in 4-5 years. With a little understanding of computer upgrades and maintenance, you can "new three years, old three years, and sewing and mending another three years".
