In a professional setting, about 5 years. Just various office work, nothing to intense.

In personal life, currently 17 years. Lenovo T400 still rocking on. Beyond SOME web browsing there just isn't anything yet that heavy that demands anything more than this thing.

17?! Holy cow that's a really long time. What OS do you run on it?

Trisquel Linux. As the laptop runs Libreboot, it makes that laptop a 100% free/open machine (outside of microcode/ROM firmwares).

As that distro is built to be 100% free/libre software it sort of unofficially targets the T400 as the upper limit of the hardware. As such it is all kept fairly lean.

Yes, other than my phone, I did go 'The Full Stallman'.
