I had my first Toshiba laptop for 5 years, but it was running Windows Vista, and I don't want to get too many operating systems behind, so I replaced that laptop 4 months ago. My new laptop has the dreaded Windows 8 on it, which I got used to using pretty quickly.

My previous desktop computers all lasted about 5 to 6 years. I bought my first home computer in 1997 with a 28K dial up modem. I think that cost about $2,000.00.
