Hi,
In January 2011 I was given a brand new Acer Aspire M3910, intel i7 870 processor, 450g 7200rpm Sata harddrive, Nvidia GT 320 video card. It has windows 7 64 bit on it. I presently am only using 296g of the hard drive space and don't plan on downloading a lot of music. I also have an external hard drive that I use for storage of photos and videos I make.
I am the sole user of this computer. I was playing some video games but at this point I have outgrown video gaming altogether and doubt I will play any if much at all ever again. At this point I am using my computer for email, surfing the web that is about it.
What I am wondering is if it is reasonable to expect that I could have my computer last for 10 years. I realize that at some point microsoft will stop making updates for windows 7 (once they release windows 8 and so on) but aside from having to possibly upgrade the OS is it reasonable to think that I could have my computer last 10 years?
