I'm currently using an LG G3. It came out in 2014 and I haven't had a single problem with it. M is finally showing up OTA, I'll probably keep it until 2017 unless there's an amazing Nexus this fall

>>53830828
how do you like that docking station? Thinking about getting one so I can plug this thing into a 24" monitor easily
>>53830851
yeah, its nice. its the model 4337, so 6x usb2, audio in/out, gigabit, VGA, DP, and DVI-D. Not the one with 5 screen outputs. I only have iGPU so it doesnt really matter anyways. Apparently you cant wake the laptop with the keyboard if its connected to the dock, which is kind of weird for Lenovo to do intentionally.

I like this thread idea, OP.
Using a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop here, from around 2009. Core2Duo 2,1Ghz, 4GB RAM, running Fedora 23 with GNOME. Works like a charm.
Phone is a Nexus 5, which I don't consider old yet, but when people update their phones every year or so >2 years is probably quite old.
My Nexus 7 2013 still works fine as well. Those 2 Nexi are the best technical devices I've ever owned.
>>53830486
diyModded iPod Video Enhanced 5.5 with a pair of Elna Silmic IIs as the output caps and a cmoy to amp it from there.
It's almost 10 years old but there's still no reason to upgrade. Music players have only gotten worse as far as their primary function is concerned.

>>53831701
Nexus 4s battery was never that good to begin with, unfortunately. In my experience smartphone batteries kick the bucket after around 2-3 years
Okay, I'll post it again.
My desktop as it is is just fine. I have a 4k monitor but don't play many (if any) demanding games and the few that I do I'm just going to buy a small 1440x900 monitor to play them on. Maybe in 2-3 more years I'll upgrade to something used again but I'm definitely fine for now.
>>53830547
Only the GPU, unless you play older games. I cant complain.
>>53831891
Not him but I managed to sell each of my two 7850s for $90 each and bought a used 7950 for about $110. Works great.

I was running a 930/580 build at that time
regret the fuck out of switching to x67 platform from my 930, sidegrade at best, not until i switched to x79 did I feel i upgraded
Currently using an iPhone 6s, no reason to upgrade yet although the SE frame is objectively better other than screen size. Might need to upgrade when the 7 come out depending on what it brings. Also my w520 is still going strong. I wouldn't mind upgrading at some point for better hardware and maybe smaller formfactor, but not as big of a fan of the newer Thinkpad keyboard and they're rather expensive considering I don't need a new one.

Im currently using a gaming pc from 2012 that I will soon be replacing with a desk top. Once I build the desktop I will not be changing anything for a very long time.
>>53832158
Dude that is still pretty high up there, just replace the gpus with 980ti's or pascals when they come out
>>53832582
Yea it was 2x 590s which is like 4x 580s or so when clocked to stock 580 speeds. My main issues with the setup now is heat and lack of Vram 590s only have 1.5gb effective ram
Here is the benchmark we used to use back then
Heaven 3.0
>>53832590
Been waiting on pascal and a new chip forever with this rig
Problem with going like 980ti or something is its all on a water loop and the new shit is fine on just air. Also stacked ram cards are around the corner(april 5th anouncement)
But 590s are still one of the best cards for Blender rendering
>>53832407
Doesn't really feel that way to me, 5 years old was "very dated" maybe until about 2007, when we were talking about comparisons like Core2 versus Tualatin, or DDR2 versus SDRAM, but nowadays...

It's only god a mid-end Core2Duo and no GPU. It runs fine even when I'm using it in my bed, only the bottom gets a bit warm. Much better than older HP laptops which really overheated.

3+ years old Xperia S, I don't want to upgrade since it works great ... most of the time. But sometimes it ignores incoming calls, and recently I didn't get a message because the wlan didn't work even though the symbol was on. The switch was even greyed out in the settings and I couldn't turn it off and on again, had to reboot.

My Phenom 1090t build is still rocking pretty hard. Windows 10 is slower than most modern builds, but part of that is the HDD. Otherwise it's blazing fast on Linux. Even my complaint about Windows 10 isn't so bad.
My HD 6950 plays most modern games at medium-high, 1080p 60fps. Happy there. Only game giving me problems is Fallout 4 but that's due to poor optimization. Anything from 2011 down can be maxed out and hey, most of the games I love are either older or graphically less intensive.
Compiles code decently fast and it's difficult for me to max out my 8GB DDR3. To be fair, if I have enough Vboxes open, it does hang.

But obviously you don't care about those arguments since you still use a dumbphone.

The graphics are a bit newer since my old card (5850) died just after warranty expired, everything else is as I bought it in 2010.
Will probably upgrade once Canadian prices recover, but I am in no real rush.
My biggest regret is that I really shouldn't have got the 1090T - 6 cores was totally not worth it in retrospect considering the slower single-core performance compared to Intel.

>>53844706
"Cheap laptop that can play games" is actually one of the few things AMD APUs are better at delivering than intel CPUs. That said, you're not going to get a great gaming experience from a laptop at that price.
>>53844802
Of course not. I am not looking for "muh 60FPS, 4K, Ultra" settings. I am fine with 720p at 30FPS. The current HD 4000 can play games from the same year at low-med settings so I suppose an HD 5000 or HD5500 can play modern games at those settings too.

Pic related, toshiba satellite L655. I could add some RAM but I use it as a DAW and it works just fine. My main workhorse in the last 5 years. Got it used in 2011 for 250 euros, the screen broke 2 months after the previous owner bought it, after a fall. I took the whole monitor half out. I couldn't be happier with it - it's very light (I have 3 monitors, each one where I use it). My only fear is that I don't know when it will abandon me, and when that time comes, I don't know what will replace it (I was thinking about mini ITXs with a good processor, but I'm worried about effective portability - the main offender being the PSU space-wise). It also runs some modern games surprisingly good (MGSV above everything else truly surprised me - it's such a shame a good engine like that has been used only in this game).
