For computers, I actively use:

* A nine-year-old desktop Mac Mini (2014)

* An eight-year-old MacBook Pro (2015)

* A five-year-old ThinkPad T480 (2018)

And a nine-year-old home server sitting in the basement (Optiplex 9020).

I rarely need new computers.

Lol you have bought 4 in the last 9 years or one every 2.25 years. About as often as I get a new phone. Way more often then I buy a washer, dryer, game console, TV, fridge, car, furniture, etc.

you still purchased that many computers that were new to you. New or Old, you're still buying a lot of PCs.

Optiplex 9020's make surprisingly good home servers. I have three, a 2 node proxmox cluster and 1 running as a NAS. The cluster is running 15 VM's including a 5 node docker swarm. I downsized from older HP G1 series in a rack when I moved across country in 2019 and couldn't be happier. Runs everything I need and they were cheap to max out.
