This is my philosophy too. I buy a new HP laptop about every two years. I work on the Internet and travel a lot so I tend to wear these things out. It is nice to have a fresh start and then recoup some funds when I sell the old one on Craigslist.

My current HP (the one I am typing on) is a G7 17" and I love it. Two years is coming up in June and I am not sure I want to give this one up

But, I have had to replace the fan in this one already as it imploded and caused overheating.

But, I am a HP fan and will continue to replace them every couple years (mostly for giggles).

I would guess that 5 years is about the average lifespan for any laptop that is used on a regular basis.
