my purchase cycle
2010 - 2011: Lenovo V series (broken because of car accident in 2011)
2011 - 2017: Dell Vostro series (broken too)
2017 - present: newer Dell Vostro series (cannot upgrade to Win11 because of the gen 7th chipset)

Now I wonder, how long can I still keep my Dell...

2003-2008 - some clone pc assembled by IT fella.. use until outdated
2008-2013 - HP Pavilion i5 desktop pc. windows 7. use until rosak
2013-2018 - Sony VAIO i3 laptop windows 8... use until rosak,
2019- now - HP pavilion i5 laptop.... hope can survive to 2023

i say 5 years average. i spend 6 months without a pc, but use only android tablet.. i got a intel pc stick (RM400 with intel atom chip & win10), but that one only good for surfing, ms office...

2018 - ASUS FX503 until now
Having fan issue and frequently overheating because of bad thermal cooling, will probably use for a few more years as it still fulfill my daily usage well, although slower than those newer models out there.

could try to replace your thermal paste (if you dare)...
I manually replace my 2017 Dell thermal paste, and getting good result, now the temperature is much stable thumbsup.gif
(but it does involve some extend of risk ya...)
