My laptop was somewhat high end around 11 years ago and is still working solidly. I love the Thinkpad series btw.
The only thing I had to do was upgrade to SSD and larger memory many years ago. I was an early adopter of windows 11 and after forcing the installation, it ran even better than windows 10 on the same hardware. The lock out felt extremely artificial and arbitrary.

it is.
same story, I have a 13 year old laptop that was a fucking beast back then, and to be honest, with 16GB RAM and SSD it still is.
Now I guess according to Microsoft, it's no better than a banana peel in the garbage can.
Apple is no better. I'm still using a 2013 Macbook pro as a laptop and I can't upgrade the OS and slowly apps are failing, office will no longer update, and it won't let me move to the latest OS despite the laptop still being a powerhouse with the same 16gb of ram and ssd.
