Until recently I rocked a T420 laptop as my daily driver. I upgraded to a 480s but only because I found it second hand for a price I can't ignore.

Other than my social circle I never was a gamer, I never felt pressure upgrading my hardware.

As a Linux user there was no real reason to either, my system got faster over the years with software updates not slower.

Same with my phone. I use it until it breaks apart which is at least 4-5 years.

As someone else said, this works because I buy quality items to begin with. Thinkpads <3
