Читать книгу Laptops For Dummies - Dan Gookin - Страница 58

Laptops should last at least three years, which is magically the same length of time as the maximum warranty provided by most manufacturers. I’ve had laptops last even longer, but after a point they do run slow or just start acting silly. Eventually new technology passes your laptop in terms of price and performance.

More key than hardware failure is battery failure. Even with modern battery technology, eventually a laptop’s battery no longer keeps a charge. At that point you can buy a replacement battery, if available. Or you can run the laptop purely from AC power.
