I will never need to buy a new computer again

Jan 12, 2025 Reading time: 4 minutes If you’re in your early thirties or older, you remember the breakneck pace at which computers were improving in the 90s and 2000s. If you brought home a shiny new 400MHz Pentium 2 system in 1998, it was literally outdated and replaced by a faster model with higher clock speed and more RAM/bigger harddrive by the time you had set it up and gotten familiar with it.

If you brought home a shiny new 400MHz Pentium 2 system in 1998, it was literally outdated and replaced by a faster model with higher clock speed and more RAM/bigger harddrive by the time you had set it up and gotten familiar with it. Of course today the development of hardware and the rate at which CPUs are improving is still fast and Intel, AMD, Apple etc are still coming out with faster and better chips all the time. I can just keep using the hardware that I have for as long as it works, which is hopefully at least a decade, and when something inevitably breaks or just doesn’t cut it anymore, then I can replace it with a five year old component from the used market that my friend the YouTuber just had to get rid of because those slow ass render times, dude!!
