> Is 10 years enough to call it quits on a laptop

5 years can be enough. 1 year can be enough.

If a new one comes out that is really appealing and I really want it, why not buy it?

Am I really going to work all day to just put money in the bank for some nebulous future that may never come?

And do I really care that much about my e-waste footprint? No!
