We do 4-year refresh cycles. Any less is a waste imo, unless that’s done intentionally as some sort of employee perk.
95% of the developers who claim to need frequent refresh (absent of failures) are full of malarkey. If you have enough resources to begin with, computers don’t improve on fast enough cycles. Exceptions are people doing GPU workloads or who have very high memory requirements.
