my original school laptop, a shitty ThinkPad 11e, had lasted me 8 years without any issues, and I stopped using it only because I got a better laptop for free, the 11e still has probably another 8 years left if I take care of it, since it's battery life is virtually the same as I first got it and no matter the amount of drops that thing takes, it will never break.
I put Linux distros on it from 2021 to 2024, sure it stuttered because I liked GNOME and I didn't adjust anything, but it was still amazing. Now that I think of it, I should definitely get windows off my newer machines, probably flash fedora or something.
