I have a 2 year old laptop, 2 - 1 year old desktops... but the one I use, and dearly love (you ready?) is 11 years old!! LOL It has a port for floppy disks. It's about twice the overall size of the new ones, sounds like a car engine when it's booting up, and I absolutely love it.

I have a two and a half year old Compaq Presario Desktop which I added a Graphics card and RAM to. It still gets the job done, but I am considering buying a Macbook laptop so I can compute on the go! =)

The one I use mostly is about 3-4 yrs. old. I have another which is much older, it has microsoft office 2000 on it! But I still love it, it has a lot of older programs that I still use.

I just worked on one that was 12 years old from a coworkers mom, Yes 12 years old. Man was it slow. I told her that I'm a computer repair technician not an antique restorer. We got it working again though...

my laptop is 1 year & 5 months old now. my "server" laptop is about 4 or 5 years old.

then there's the 1999 laptop that's been upgraded several times - to the point where the processor runs so hot it burns out the power board. can't keep a battery going on it.
and the 2000 desktop (that doesn't get used - need to recycle it)

and the other half has a 2.5 year old laptop.

what can i say, i'm a geek. i like keeping hte old hardware around.

Just over 5 years old, my laptop is. This year I've upgraded the RAM (from 256MB to 2GB) and the 30GB hard drive was dying (I got one of those lovely SMART failure warnings), so I upgraded to an 80GB drive. I don't really need that much space considering I already have an external hard drive to store my extra crap.

Upgrading your machine is typically a lot cheaper than buying new. Here are some articles I've written about it in the past month to find out more. :O

Like others the question becomes which one and how do we define old. The computer I am on now is a AMD 2800+, but it was built from brand new parts costing less than a month ago for less $120 (MB and chip, 256mb video card, HD Tuner Card 6.1 toslink sound card, and 1gb ram). Call it $200 total with the 500gb hard drive I just ordered on ebay for it. My others range from 1 year to 5 years, and the one that has my old win 95/98 games I let my son play is 8 years old.

Eight years, and it's dying rather quickly.

Saying that, though, it's never really been that alive, hah.

A bit over 6 years old now, and gradually dying at this point. Planning on working on building a new PC later this fall and moving all my data over. This machine's pretty outdated anyway, but it's served me well. I just wish it weren't as noisy as it often is these days.

  You can't be serious. In widely varied discussion threads you can't think up anything to say except "check my new blogs" and you expect us to believe that you have something interesting to say ON your blogs? Seems like a stretch.

About a year I think. But I build my own rig and I change and replace stuff about it all the time so there's no real accurate time. The last time I replaced most parts in one go however was about 1 and a half year ago.

Most of ours (3 of them) are about 4 years old. We do regular maintenance on them. One just got a new hard drive. One of my roomies is a tech person, so we keep an inventory of parts from older machines that have already bit the dust.

We're on tap to purchase one new computer in 2009.

Depends on the part. The video card is two months old. The case is three years old. Maybe if you cut that time in half, that would be the age. I will never buy a new computer all together. I continuely replace old components. So over time when I replace the motherboard, I will still keep the other stuff that is still compatible with the new mobo, and eventually everything gets replaced.
