minus-squareObinice@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·2 years agoDawg, I only upgrade phones and laptops once every 8 years or so. These things are EXPENSIVE, I can’t afford one more often than that. My current tablet came out in 2014, that’s when I got it. It’ll be a decade old in just a few months. Besides swapping the battery out twice over the years, it still works great and does everything I need it to do. Fantastic big AMOLED display, too.
