When is it time to purchase a new computer?
Some people I have talked to told me its good to purchase a new computer every 2 years however that could be expensive for most people. I always thought every 4-5 years.
What is your opinion on this?
The computer I own is 11 months old?

The industry "standard" answer on that question is 3 years.
Technology seems to hit a new high in about that time frame.
However, from a practical standpoint, that could get expensive; you are buying the "latest" technology.
Five years is probably more the norm and besides if you wait a bit, all of the beta bugs and glitches will be worked out and all of the updates will be in one handy "service package."
Actually, if your computer is 10 years old, still working well, and your computing needs have not expanded, I wouldn’t upgrade at all.
If you want to use the very latest software, or play the latest games, then, of course, your needs have expanded and you’ll need to upgrade.
Hope this helps…..JT
PS—I would re-post this question in Entertainment and Music, sub category Polls and Surveys.
I think you’ll get more responses there than here. Don’t ask me why Yahoo in all their wisdom; HID Polls and Surveys under the Entertainment and Music category…go figure.
