When we use any technological product, we always care about its lifespan, and Laptops are no exception. Technological products are always uncertain about the future because electronic products always have certain risks. However, many people ask how long does a Laptop typically last, in this article, Software Tricks will share with you some information about the lifespan of a Laptop.
Note: We cannot specifically speak about the lifespan of electronic products because they always have certain risks. Many cases of buying new electronic items (fullbox) but encountering errors right after unboxing, this is a very normal thing so don't worry.
1. Laptop Battery Lifespan
When it comes to Laptop components with the most noticeable lifespan degradation, it's undoubtedly the Battery. Every Laptop in the world today must use a Battery, and the average lifespan of a Battery falls around 2 to 3 years depending on usage conditions. The lifespan of a Battery is greatly influenced by usage habits; those experienced in Battery maintenance can significantly extend its lifespan, while those who use the Battery liberally without much thought will surely have a shorter lifespan for the Battery. However, generally, a Battery usually significantly deteriorates after about 2 years of use, regardless of how the user maintains it!
2. Lifespan of Laptop Screen
The Laptop screen is one of the relatively durable components and they often encounter very few issues. However, this applies to screens that are rarely subjected to impacts, drops, or significant forces. If during use you exert force on the screen, it will inevitably be affected to some extent.
3. Keyboard Lifespan
The current lifespan of Laptop keyboards is approximately 50 million presses (per key), however, since everyone uses their Laptop for different durations each day, we cannot convert them into time units. However, for those who use a Laptop for about 8 hours a day, the keyboard typically lasts about 1.5 years. From that formula, you can calculate the lifespan of a Laptop keyboard based on your own usage time.
4. Hardware Lifespan
A Laptop is composed of many different components, so the lifespan of the hardware is difficult to determine! Some components on Laptops are 'indestructible' like the CPU, however, some components have a certain lifespan. However, Laptops with good quality components typically have a lifespan of over 10 years, even up to 15 years. But not all components will remain intact during that 10-15 year period, they may break here or there, but not all at once.
5. Lifespan of the casing
The casing is the part of the Laptop that we 'feel' the most, the material that makes up the Laptop casing also determines its lifespan. For Laptops using casings made of aluminum, metal, magnesium, carbon, etc., their lifespan is very high, typically very difficult to break unless subjected to strong impacts such as falls or collisions. On the other hand, for casings made of plastic, their durability is definitely not comparable to metal or other high-quality compounds. However, achieving a lifespan of over 10 years for plastic casings is easily attainable!
In this article, Software Tricks has shared with you a lot of information related to the lifespan of Laptops. Have a great day everyone!
