You seem to be in the farther right side of the spectrum in terms of your laptop longevity. 10 years is solid.

8 years and still kicking? and with more life left? For a Dell, that's amazing.

Are you able to run any of the LLM apps (not the OSS ones) like codex or claude on your machine?

Got it. Yeah, 5-7 seems like the common timeframe among devs.

I've always upgraded mostly due to battery issues. Since the silicon era of macs, IDK if they replace the battery.

I had a MBP 2015, which I upgraded in 2020 to the MBA M1. Now, I'm thinking whether or not to upgrade to a more newer MBA.

Thanks. Also, 5-7 years seems like a common timeframe from what I've noticed in this comment section.

Would you mind sharing which LLM you're running locally on your F15?

0. What's your profession? 1. Which laptop do you use as your personal laptop? 2. How long do you use yours before getting a new laptop?
