I use a gaming laptop from 2018. Rog Zephyrus.

fan started making grating noise even after thorough cleaning, found a replacement on Ebay and boom back in business playing Hitman and Stardew.

Will I get 120 fps or dominate multiplayer? nah. But yeah works fine. Might even be a hand me down later on.

Absolutely it totally depends on what you got originally. If you only got an okay ish PC in 2018 then it definitely still won't be fit for purpose in 2025, but if you got a good gaming PC in 2018 it probably will still work in another 5 years, although at that point you'll probably be on minimum settings for most new releases.

I would say 5 to 10 years is probably the lifespan of a gaming PC without an upgrade.

However my crappy work laptop needs replacing after just 3 years because it was rubbish to start with.

We replaced my mom's warcraft machine 3 years ago. It replaced an athlonII from 2k7 at 14 years old. Your tank may be a 74yo grandmother so be nice.
