Same here. When I was even younger than I'm now, I'd upgrade my computer every two years. Now it's just a hassle, re-installing and setting up applications, and so on... so I buy a monster computer/laptop, and then keep it for 7+ years. The only upgrade could be to stick some more memory in it. I've thought about retiring this desktop I'm on now, but as my new laptop is down (broken SSD, awaiting replacement), I have decided to just keep the thing updated and current as a fallback. It has only 35% of the speed and half of the RAM of the new laptop, but in the end, it CAN do the same stuff.
It's not in the way under the desk, and the monitor, keyboard and mouse are in use with the laptop's docking station.
And my phone? I buy a high-end one, and then use it until it either breaks or at some point can't do something I want to do.
