Ah, i gotcha. The video at hand, and this whole thread is about the lifespan of consumer electronics, not really business refresh cycles.

    FWIW - I'm not arguing about any of this... I'm just expounding on my thought process.

    There were a lot of business class systems in the mix they were working on... I saw a bunch of Dell Optiplex, and HP Workstations in there... I think that was from either (a) some businesses / schools donating them, or (b) after market recyclers donating the ones they couldn't get working and didn't want to spend time on.

    No matter what, however, the bottom line is that a high percentage of these systems will be given new life -- and that's what counts.
