Got 3 laptops here at the moment, ranging from 2-3 years old, all with Failed ( bad sectors) on the drives. Slow as a wet week, freezing. Simply imaged 2 of them to a new drive (even a std drive) and the speed increase is obvious.

1440671 2017-10-17 21:00:00 To say that something is no good because it is old is nonsense! I am 83, so I should be on the scrap heap?

how would you go in a 1/2 mile running race against a fit 20year old.
Age does matter . Im not in the same state I was 35 years ago.

Things wear out. People, cars PC components . Yes electrical (and mechanical) parts do age wear and fail.
Over time => less reliable in general. Thats just the way things are . Except maybee wine. And cheese .

When a PC/car whatever isnt performing, replace the worn old parts .
