A decent laptop or desktop should each last for at least five years. The difference between the two is that laptops are portable and more vulnerable to abuse. The machines keep running but up till now they have become obsolete in about five years and often their software is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Apple seems to be slowing down this obsolescence schedule, making older machines useful longer.
