My 11 years old computer isn't working and I'm scared if i would have to fire it from work.
@_lunawinters Sorry to hear that. But maybe it's time to look for a replacement?
11 years in terms of computer tech is 4 generations at least. 2008 vintage. Although there are still some good machines from the era, certainly.
The hard part is how software keeps getting heavier and heavier, as features are added, and everyone wants the newest bells and whistles.
I love vintage computers, do collect examples of quality design and well built hardware -- IBM ThinkPad laptops, HP workstations, some HP laptops too.
Don't have any Apple made computers, but am surprised at the HIGH asking prices for them in the local classifieds market. A 2010 vintage Mac Book Pro still commands hundreds of dollars in there.
Suggestion, Aaditi - look for a replacement from a reseller that specializes in Business class machines, and resells off-lease models.
Here we can get top quality gear from them, usually 3 years old, sometimes more. At affordable prices, and quality levels you will NOT find in consumer grade electronics.
An example of a Canadian reseller like that - they have wonderful stuff including Workstation class desktops, laptops and full servers.
@design_RG it's hard to find them where i live but I'll ask my dad.
Also, I'm thinking of getting a laptop because it has more features and is portable. I mean, i don't do a lot of stuff on pc but still.
