My old Dell laptop made it eight years, then I switched to a Mac but only got 4.5 years out of that one. Now, since I don't really use any "work" features, I stick to chromebooks, at under $300 I don't care if they don't last forever. I was pretty ticked when my Mac went bad... at $1400 it cost me around $310 a year to own it, that seems extreme to me.

When my old HP camera died after almost 10 years I just switched to whatever camera is on my phone-of-the-moment.
