Even for a Surface Laptop 4.

The next big phone, or laptop?

Like the Microsoft Surface Laptop 4, which is rumored to be arriving next week.

But the incident, along with some other damage the machine has accrued over the past three years, got me thinking about whether it’s time for an upgrade. .

Because my laptop still works just fine.

Sure, I could pick up the Surface Laptop 4, which is rumored to come with an 11th gen Core i7, rather than an 8th gen chip, and should come with more RAM and a better graphics card.

So why spend anywhere between $1,000 and $2,000 for something I don’t actually need, and go to the trouble of setting it up just the way I like it.

I’m still using a OnePlus 7 Pro as my day to day phone, despite the fact that the OnePlus 9 Pro just launched.

But at the same time, there’s little point in spending $1,000 on a new phone when the one I have works perfectly well.

Android phone makers typically only support a phone with new software for three years - with that final 12 months usually only getting essential security updates. .

After that window closes, your phone isn’t just unsupported by the manufacturer.

So replacing a phone after three years isn’t just about upgrading, it’s about keeping you and your data secure.

Even if Windows 10 wasn’t effectively the “final version” of Windows, with updates in perpetuity, it would still be a very long time before my own laptop posed enough of a security risk to warrant an upgrade.

Obviously, a time will come when I need to buy a new laptop.

But that doesn’t seem like it’s going to be happening anytime soon
