<p>Our “newest” Dell is 4 years old. Our Dell desktop was purchased in 2004. We upgraded memory in the desktop (mainly because of all the I-tunes on there) and one other laptop. They are all working just fine. We did have to get a new power cord for one laptop, but that was shortly after we bought it, it was under warranty, so free. We have 2 Latitudes (one 5 years old, one 7 years old) and a 4 year old Insperion.</p>
<p>You can get two Dells or whatever for the price of one Mac Book.</p>
