Here is a confirmation of long lasting pc laptops..

I purchased my CTX laptop running windows 98, in 1998.. Still runs as new (removable hard drive.. No USB but has pcmcia slot.

I purchased my Compaq pentium4 laptop in 2003, running windows98, Still runs.

I purchased my Toshiba core2 laptop in 2008 running Vista, runs as new ( my favorite).

I purchased my HP laptop running windows10 in 2017 (touch screen). Still runs great.

I am keeping each for the different OS.

Just can't complain about long lasting.
