I have family on fixed incomes. They don't use 15 year old computers. They simply don't last that long.

I've just 'upgraded' a friend who was using a ThinkPad T410, released Jan 2010. So sixteen years. There was nothing mechanically wrong with it except it was capped at 8GB RAM and chugged along slowly.
They're now on a T480, released 2018.

Yeah I was daily-driving a 2012 machine (X230) until 2024, when I then switched to a 2018 ThinkPad which I'm still using.
