I used to keep laptops 5+ years, but recently I've realised that as a software engineer, this may be a bit of a false economy. It's my primary tool - if I can buy a ~20% performance bump sooner than that, it's absolutely worth it (and a deductible business expense into the bargain)
On one hand – absolutely.
On the other hand, I suspect this is the main reason we have those Electron abominations and bloated web apps nowadays.
