Wondering if it's possible to buy a GOOD laptop, that is good for 10 years,
for 1000 USD? Last one I had like that was a Compaq with all the latest
bells and whistles. It lasted over 10 years, but cost like $3000.

just using it mostly for the web and similar, I'd be looking in that
range. I find myself using my phone a lot more than the PC. Which
is one reason PC sales peaked years ago.

Yes, if you keep it in the closet. Average life of laptop these days is
1-3 years before needing repairs.

sorry but if you check all the research data on laptops, the average
lifespan before needing repairs is about 1-3 years. They are commercial
JUNK, built to fail and make you buy a new one. That is why I have
concluded that only the data is valuable, the machine is a throw away.

to do almost anything, because it is tied to cloud-based apps.
I bought a Lenovo Flex 4-1580 at Costco for about $800 4 years ago, and
it's still going strong.
