Nowadays I only get new laptops when the current one dies, I no longer feel the rush to upgrade like in the 8086 - Pentium days.

My parents are still using my old desktop from 2001 (AMD K7) for their office + web stuff.

the only minor issue with that is that flash is a beast and, to watch higher def videos, you need a more powerful machine

At least on Windows with a proper graphics card, Flash is not a problem.

Not sure about other systems.
