    My desktop is an ASUS which I purchased about a year and a half ago.
    My netbook is a Compaq and is approx. 6 or 7 years old. I would like a new one but will wait for the sales come August (fingers crossed.)

    My laptop is almost a year and a half. My office computer tower is ancient. New monitor and accessories but the tower is old. I need to get a new one. I very rarely use it because it's painfully slow.

    We have two desktop computers that are 3 & 5 years old, and a laptop that is a couple years old. DH is a gamer, which means he is often upgrading video cards and what not.

    My Samsung Tab S is only 5 months old.... DH had sent my older iPad for a swim in the kitchen sink by accident, so I replaced it. I use it or my phone for almost everything.

    Desktop is really old - we got it refurbished at a Boxing Day sale maybe 9 or 10 years ago.
    Somehow our son keeps it running...

    Son gave me a tablet for Christmas the one before last.

    Now the computer at work has been there since the late '90s. I know it's had at least one change in hard drive, but other than that, it's kept running. For those who are familiar... it's a 133mHz.

    I use both my 6 month old Mac Pro and my ancient Presario Compaq. But I work all day on them. I have a 30" screen for my Mac which saves my poor eyes when I have to read 50 page documents. Ugh.

    I've found switching from microsoft to Mac hard as they are so different and my brain is trained on microsoft. Between that and the fact that I'm technically challenged, I have several moments of frustration. I also work with 2 awesome ladies that are tech wizards. . .so I offer them much amusement in my pathetic attempts to understand anything.

    As for all of you who suffer slow internet, I have Xplorenet satelite which is painfully slow a lot of time. . . so you have my sympathy.

    My computer is 8 years old. I have replaced the hard drive and the monitor and of course the mouse a couple times.
