How Old Is Your Primary Computer?


In the past, you had to upgrade your computer almost every year just to keep up with advancements in basic software and operating systems. Upgrading regularly isn’t so necessary any more, unless you’re playing modern games or using specific types of resource-hungry applications. How old is your system?

Having an older computer is nothing to be ashamed of. If it does what you need it to do, who really cares if you bought it back when smart phones were still a new thing? In that spirit, we’ve shown you 10 ways you can make the best of an old, crappy computer.

But for now, we’d like to know how old your computer is — not the oldest computer you may have sitting around somewhere, but the computer you use every day. Tell us (and tell us why you made that choice) in the comments.
