What long term usage yph are looking here

In any case after 3-4 years, tecnology goes obsolete

I have 2.

HP envy-13 - purchased Sept 17 and still working fine. used to carry it every weekend to and fro by flight till sept 19. Mainly using at home for last 3 yrs. However, one hinge got damaged and this damaged the pasting between the lid, had to apply paste and put a insulation tape at the bottom to make sure it stays firm.  its my primary laptop. but now battery backup is almost gone. I keep it at home and while on travel use a chromebook.

HP Aero - purchased in Oct 2021. used by my daughter. mostly used at home. working fine.

Also have a Dell E5430 purchased Apr 2013. changed the battery twice, replaced hdd with 500 gb ssd, increased ram to 4 gb and installed win 10. still works great but its heavy. 

Maybe am lucky (touchwood) but never had major issues with any of my laptops and I have never purchased any additional warranty as such. In the last 15 years, I've had only 4 laptops- Macbook pro, Macbook Air, LG gram (2018) & again Gram in 2021.

Only issue I faced was in Macbooks with Battery deteriorating- changed Battery in both the Macbooks; other than that just upgraded RAMs & SSDs.

Can't comment on any of the above models but being a macbook air user since 2010 and only moved to pro in 2022, I can say that these lasted really well for me. The first one I owned was a 11" macbook air, followed by 13" macbook air twice and now a 13" Macbook pro M1.

The issues I faced so far. MacBook air had a dead battery after 6 years, replaced with an aftermarket solution and a year later motherboard went dead. Apart from that, never had any sort of issues for any machines used so far.

Even if you end up spending a bit extra, ensure to get one with solid build, has well balanced specs and is good at thermal management.

Bought lg gram , bluescreen error came within 3 months and not booting at all. SSD gone.  they say onsite warranty ,only washing machine, ac service center in tier 3 city. Gave it to them. They are seeing a laptop first time and are awaiting further instruction from LG since the last one month 

Don't own any of these ultra-lightweight laptops (<1kg), but my gut feeling says that the thermal management on these would be inferior to the standard ones (<1.5kg). The build quality would be great since most are anyways pretty costly compared to it's standard counterpart, however the hinge is always a problem when used frequently. So unless your use case strictly involves frequent travel, air conditioned environment, delicate handling, it's better to go for the standard ones imho.

Ooooohooo.... I am still using two laptops from 2007 and 2008! 

Dell 15 inch with Windows 7 (upgraded from xp) and Compaq  Presario (A900) 17 inch with original Windows Vista! 

But then again... I am using my college cars from 1999 too!
