Personally, I don’t want to be forced to get a new laptop every year.
If you want to give me the option of buying the biggest, fastest, meanest laptop of the make and model I want, that’s awesome! But I don’t need a new one every year.
Sometimes new laptops require new versions of the OS. And I might want to stick with an older version of the OS.
Sometimes new laptops are on a new hardware architecture tha5 I don’t want to be forced to use. At least, not yet.

Give me the options, sure. But don’t force me.
