I replace my computers before I ever feel a need to upgrade them. Computers are fast and performant for a long time now (4+ years, especially for non-professional use).

And as someone who works with computers all day long, I never ever want to open one up unless I build one from scratch and want a personal project.



What about the screen?


Once upon a time I'd use the same monitor for several generations of desktop. But lately monitors feel like they're advancing more quickly and computers more slowly such that I end up replacing them after about ten years.

I personally appreciate not having to do both at the same time, but at least for me it has reduced that particular criticism against all-in-ones.


What about the screen? Although I do have an external display, I haven't found a compelling replacement in the 10 years it's been going.

That said, the 24" iMac screen is not in the slightest bit compelling to me
