Hi, i'm just wondering, how long will a premium laptop last?
I have the Lenovo y50-70, and it is very well built, and has a premium feel.
I'm Normally just having it on my desk, and sometimes i take it to the kitchen or something like that. I take it out of the house maybe twice a month, while being very careful to it.
So again, how long do you think it will last if taken well care of? And it's not a cheap laptop either, so it's not cheap components on it either.
(Sorry if my english is bad, but it's my second language. :)  )

Last, as in operation? I have a couple of 15 year old laptops that still run fine (for what they are).
I've seen others die of something or other in 6 months.

I mean how long will it last and still be functional?

Like, how long will it take for a component to stop working, or maybe a key stops woriking?
How long will it last before i can't work on it anymore?

Like USAFRetired states. Anywhere between 6 months and 15+ years. There's no telling when a laptop component will fail. I recently had my laptop motherboard go out after about seven years.

Well taken care of, it will continue to work for years. The battery will probably be the first thing to die.

What you will see, though, is that it will be 'slow' compared to whatever is new at the time.
