The one was a 'gimme' from work when it became obsolete (that'd be the boat anchor) ... the second was the first one I ever bought (1998), and lasted me until last year. The one I use now was the kids' computer which I scooped when I bought a gaming one for them earlier this year. And the laptop is necessary for writing wherever I go - I bought it about a year & a half ago.
I think we've had three or four over the past 8 years or so, but we just get rid of them when we get a new one! We don't really have a big place, so there's not room for another desktop here, anyway. But since I started spending so much time on the computer ~ b/c of H/D, of course! ~ we thought that a laptop would be a good idea so hubby could actually have internet access whenever he wants! Now there's Terminus, though. And my cousin's wedding. And hubby's family reunion. Hmph. Still may be able to do it, though...
I think my desktop computer got upset with me and all my talk of laptos, b/c when I went to reply to this it shut me down!!! Let's try again.
Yes, laptops are pretty cheap. My hubby runs the technology department on the store level for a major retailer, so we also get a discount. BUT! B/c hubby knows all about it, he also wants all the bells and whistles! The computer I have now has just about everything you can think of on it! I love it so. *pets computer*
