My old rule was three years and then upgrade. However, now I am changing that rule to FOUR years (and possibly 5 for the cell phone if the batteries hold up.) Why upgrade if the computer (and phone) are still doing the jobs you need them to do?

Also for some absurd reason, T-Mobile lowered the trade-in values of their cell phones. I got $300 trade-in value for each of the two Samsung Galaxy S7 phones we traded in back in 2020. Now our Samsung Galaxy 2020 Cell phones will only get $190 each on the trade-in.
