[QUOTE="brigantes, post: 894248, member: 88084"] If you have valuable data of any kind, then all you need is a flash USB to back it up and then disconnect the drive. OEMs typically rate the lifespan of their laptops between 2 and 4 years, with 3 years being the average. Here is an example - Hewlett Packard's official statement on the matter of laptop life span: "Generally speaking, your typical mid-range laptop should last roughly three years. And if you take good care of your computer, it may even last a bit longer than that." [URL unfurl="true"]https://store.hp.com/us/en/tech-takes/longest-lasting-hp-laptop#[/URL]! Once you are using a laptop that is beyond 5 years old it is already ancient by IT standards and is obsolete. [/QUOTE]
