Am I the only one who hasn’t felt the need to upgrade in _way_ more than just one year? I still have an old XPS 15 9560 (pushing 10 years!!!) running Ubuntu which is perfectly usable. I upgraded the ram (32Gb) and the battery, and I still consider it to be totally usable for most day to day tasks. Development, docker containers, browsing the web with an unhealthy number of tabs open. What more do I need?

Same. My daily driver is a high spec Dell laptop from 2018. I do CAD work on it and it's approximately fine. I upgraded the memory last year and I've had to repaste the heatsink and replace the battery, but I still can't justify getting a new machine given that it does everything I actually need flawlessly.

Agreed. Main box is 10+ years i5-4770K, I think. 16 GB RAM, GTX 1080. Runs Debian Trixie + KDE, Spotify, VS Code, docker, Steam, etc just fine.
