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...

QUOTE(pikafaded @ Nov 9 2021, 02:19 PM) 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 (but it does involve some extend of risk ya...)
