Lawdwaz Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 How old is your computer, is it working great or just OK? Do you trust that it won't go belly up and leave you FREAKING out? My laptop is 8 years old and it's been acting wonky for a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtTime Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 My desk top is about 5 years old. Not a performance machine, but I push it to the limits with my art software. It was getting a bit slow but that's because of all the stuff I have on it. After that Windows 10 came ( I didn't install W10 ) through it acts wonky all the time. The g/f's laptop is about 3 years old and that things runs faster then NASCAR running Talladega. But, she doesn't have anything on there except some photography pics she takes.

Elmo Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Many computers run slow because of all the crap users have installed that run invisible in the background. I don't know how old my computer is since it's a Frankenstein'ed out from parts from work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I finally got a new one last year, tax time. I got a HP ENVY x360 Touch smart. I love it. It goes from a laptop to a tablet. It's also a touch screen. It's worth the investment. I only use google, my girlfriend got me hooked and use it for everything. I do not use any other system and since computers come with nothing, it's been a blessing. I only download what I need. As far as my old computer, my GF cleaned it and uses it as a tv watching her shows and knits. OH, since I use google, you can synch it in with your phone and it's like having another computer.

Paula Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Someone was getting rid of and gave me a apple laptop last yr that might be close to 7-8 years old. Runs great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFA-ADK Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I put mine together with parts from Hurricane Sandy so its about 4 year old parts as they where relatively new computers. Performance is good for a Dell. If your having issues make sure you back up your files! Get an external back up drive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnhu Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Haven't used a computer in many years, probably in excess of 7. It's all about tablets and phones now. Not even sure if it'll start up. Probably have about 4TB or raid storage and something like 120BG of solid state HDD for OS purposes.

maytom Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Had a Gateway few years ago, but got a virus on it that took over control!!! Took it to office max to try have them get rid of that thing, they told me it was the worst one they ever seen and it was encrypted as well. Nothing they could do!!! So had to get a new tower by Dell this time around. Be sure you have anti-virus installed on your computer. Clicked onto a infected e-mail and that did it for me!!! Now I delete over 99% of everything that I get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pygmy Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 My laptop is less than a year old..Working fine so far.It replaced a Dell desktop that I had bought in early 2006. The Dell started making weird buzzing noises and died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
