Demon_skeith Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 My last PCs I tossed aside and got a new one, but my custom build I hope to keep using for a long time and fix the parts as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I got the ASUS TUF recently in sep 2020. So I may have to wait for few more years before I can make use of the new laptop build for games and work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Farrell Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Since I know the general signs of hardware wearing out, I tend to save up for hardware replacements. For my hard drive, I have a few external hard drives that I occasionally connect, to make sure they still work for future use, when my computer hard drive dies. The other hardware I replace as needed, or as I notice the computer slowing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I give around 2 or 3 years at the most to most of the laptops that I am using pretty strong. I think after that hardware eventually dies out with heavy usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, whenever such happens, I will switch to my consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all can be able to bear the budget of running games on both platforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egghead Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 When my PC broke, I immediately took it to get fixed, and my PC was ready in few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasmin Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I have been using laptop for a along time and I always get a new laptop when my existing laptop starts giving problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyorAlice Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 My hubby has a PC and it did die. I can't remember what was wrong with it. He did get it working again though it did take a while. We both have laptops so he wasn't in a big rush to fix it since we had other means of getting online. Now that he has his PC working again, he prefers using that as opposed to using his laptop. I prefer using my laptop and it keeps me from hogging the PC so that he can use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, if I ever get to own a custom built PC for myself, I'm definitely going to make sure that it's got everything I need and I'll find it very difficult to move on from it.

Kane99 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I need to mess with my sister's laptop soon, as she's dealing with ransomeware. Literally locked her laptop up, and made it look like she needed to call MS. I haven't had time to go over there to look at it yet, but I'm going to dread trying to solve it. I hope I can try to solve it. And on top of that, my nephew just got a new gaming PC for his b-day, so I worry that he will get viruses on that and cause issues there too. But my PC is doing just fine. But I am always paranoid about problems. Last week it shutdown on me out of nowhere. I thought it was a goner.

I'm very sure that you're aware that a laptop is different from on PC in this regard. Laptop is something I make use of to cover up when my PC is out of commission. It's just like a smaller version of PC just like smartphone serves like a smaller version of laptops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 That's the reason why I don't want to buy a fairly used PC, I want to be a brand new, so I wouldn't run around trying to repair the damages at the earliest time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations to your nephew on his new PC and always wish him happy birthday for me in arrears. You have already started making plans on getting games he would play on it and that's a great effort. On your PC that just shutdown on you out of the blue, I hope you didn't just overlook that because there was definitely something that caused that and you need to find that out.
