6 years. I don't do much out of the ordinary.

I rarely use these, but 3 years would be nice.

5 years. I barely need smartphone features, so if it does what I need it to do, there's little reason to replace it.

I mean, how often do you really need to replace a camera?

Laptop and car from 2007, desktop from 2013 and phone from 2015.
At least five years for everything but at this rate i don't think i can upgrade my laptop/phone, everything available is fucking awful.

Laptop from 2008, phone from 2014.
No car yet, I wish I could. Well, actually, I have one from a family member waiting for me. But I can't pay 1000€ for a license.
There will be better times for us, user. Don't give up!

>desktop
5 years for CPU, 3 years for GPU, other parts as needed

Depends what your expectations are but I figure 6 years

2 is minimum, 3 is expected, 4 would be great

As long as it runs, min 3 years

200k miles? I'm at about 100k of my own mileage on my Scion xA.

I doubt it, it's not even a price problem it's a "there's fucking nothing" problem.

>PC
constantly upgrading it.

>laptop
at least 5 years. currently using a T520

>phone
at least 2 years. Aiming for 3 with my LG G4

>camera
at least 5 years. But I upgrade it if I need new features.

I buy all my stuff used and sell what I dont need.

just got a new laptop. hope it lasts me a lifetime save for the ssd which I'll obviously have to replace sooner or later

If I were to buy a dedicated camera I would expect it to outlast me at least

>Other tech
I got a small embedded system continuously online since 1998 that I keep around for novelty and because I refuse to let it die, it's got it's own UPS and redundant internet connection and I got weirdly attached to it. I hope that it will still be running in 20 years but no idea how realistic that is.

2018, I will probably have to sell it in a few months though. I bought it to work but before even finishing it that job went down the drain.
>laptop
2008, I expect it to work at least 4 more years. It's so old that it has begun to be a meme around my college, as it's a high end one which beats the shit out of the cheap laptops without SSD that are sold in retail stores. It needs some repairs though, touchpad isn't working (6€ on eBay) but I'm looking for a whole non-working one so I can use the keyboard+touchpad with my desktop. I spent 8 years without using a mouse and hate it. So even after it dies, this laptop organs will keep me company for a few more years.
>smartphone
2014. I actually have two from that year, so even if one fails I will keep using the other but I won't be buying a new one.
>tablet
2018, same thing as the desktop.
>camera
2017, I expect... 20 years?

>desktop
Rolling upgrade. System is a Haswell based i7 4770 with a GTX 970 and 32GB RAM. I upgrade when I find parts that are good value or when I need them.
>laptop
Its a 2013 ThinkPad X220. I only use it when i travel which is rare so I dont need it for anything other then browsing, emails and some light puzzle games to pass the time. I recently replaced the slow HDD with an SSD.
>smartphone
I replace every 24 months because I have them on contract. Its suits me fine. I just upgraded to the Galaxy S9.
>tablet
Still using a Galaxy Note 10.1 I got back in 2013. its only real use is movies for the kids when were on the road.
>camera
Bought my last SLR back in 2010 and its fine. I barely use it as phones are more convenient and less to carry around.
>car
Its been an average of about 7 to 10 years. My current one is a 07 Mazda CX-7. Our last upgrade was from our 06 Mazda 6 to a 2016 Mazda 3
>other tech
When I need to, really. I dont upgrade because I want to, only when I can justify it.

>desktop
I will probably be making incremental upgrades, so probably another 8 years on top of the 3 years I've had with it so far.
>laptop
my T410 and X220 won't be going away anytime soon.
>smartphone
I've had my at&t S5 for 4 years now, but I want a phone without a locked down bootloader. After that, I could still use it as a media player.

I just replaced my 07 kia optima's exhaust manifold and that car feels almost brand new now.

hacked my vita, so now I'm getting more use out of it. my hacked 3DS is the best hand held I've ever owned, never getting rid of it.

5 more years before i have to to get a new motherboard. cpu and gpu incrementally upgraded. currently 1 year old.

as long as it can handle the internet and some of my old-ish games. maybe 8 years before it's totally obsolete. just bought it.

I use stuff until it breaks beyond repair, or until there are no parts left for it at a reasonable price, or until it simply becomes too slow for my day to day tasks. I'm posting this from a ThinkPad R60 running OpenBSD. It has a 500GB HDD and 4GB RAM with a 1.6GHz Core2 Duo. I've had this bad boy since late 2006. My phone is a Nexus 5 with Lineage OS. I don't own a car since my job is less than a mile away.

Depends on how you count, it's a rolling upgrade. Currently the oldest component in my system is about 12 years old give or take a bit, but I just recently upgraded my graphics card a few months ago.
>laptop
Current laptop is from 2011. It's still going strong, and I see no reason to change it for the foreseeable future.
>smartphone
While I'd love to say 4-5 years, I can't honestly expect to get more than 3 years at most out of a smartphone today. They just aren't built to last any longer, but I replace them when they start to fall apart at the seams. My Nexus 4 lasted me almost 4 years from 2012 through 2016.
>tablet
Same as phones. Not getting a tablet again once my Tab S3 dies.

My phone is my camera.

Don't have one, but I'd sure hope to get well over 10 years out of a car once I get one.

My man. The headphone jack on mine broke so I "upgraded". Looking back, I don't know why I didn't just open it up and at least try to fix it.

>desktop
Does it count if I get given parts?
Each part tends to stay in there 5 years or so except the graphics card, but I'm not one to turn down free stuff
>laptop
It needs to last until I can get a RISC-V one to replace it.

Another 2 years would be fine with me, that makes 5.

not a car, but my CT110 will last basically forever, assuming I can get/make parts. It's already lasted 32.

Hopefully forever if I keep updating the hardware periodically. All I really care about are my files.

Well, my about 10 year old desktop (Q9650 etc.), laptop (2,5 Ghz c2d Dell), camera (EOS 5DMkII) and car (Volvo V50) aren't badly obsolete but they've seen lot's of use and newest tech is at least somewhat better. So for them 10 years seem quite good.

I've never had a tablet and don't know how they're used. But I'm never happy with phones. I've had each phone about 3 years but I think it's too little. Year after year cheap phones lag and I don't like ditching +500€ meme device every third year but they don't last longer. I wouldn't mind having a phone for more than 5 years if it would just work like new all the time.

I've been using +20 yo stereos, +20 yo kitchen appliances and +20 yo bicycles (and a +20 yo car). I seriously hate this consumerism of short life span products that get's expensive to our wallet and also for the environment.

My desktop is custom built and I've had a motherboard crap out on me. I just upgrade whenever a component breaks or gets too old. My entire computer won't just fry at once unless something really fucked up happens.

I've had my laptop since 2015 and it's still running perfectly. I'd say it could still work til around 2020 or 2021.

My smartphone has been abused and dropped to no end by me, so I think it'll probably only take 1 or 2 more years of it. I bought it used in near-perfect condition for cheap like half a year ago, so I'll just do the same thing with a newer smartphone once it's kill.

No car because vision sucks too much to get license.

I've got a Nintendo Switch that I keep dropping in portable mode. I think it'll last me a good 4-6 years so long as I be more careful.
