5 years, or til the cat knocks it off the kitchen table, whichever comes first.

My mom got a 486 laptop from her former employer during the Pentium III era. Probably around 97/98, or so; I was in university at the time. So it was old even then. Ran Windows 3.11. Gave it away 2 years ago, and it still worked.
You can't kill a 486. Those fvckers were resilient. |

Laptops never really die, they just become obsolete.
EDIT: ...or coasters, whichever comes first. |

Permanent Fatal Errors, A Semi-Ballade
for Lew Grossberger The laptop on my table here today, As elegant and vanishingly small As any warranty that salesmen say Is unimplied if unexpressed, seems all And more than anyone could ask if they Could get all that they wanted to install -- But software jargon holds no greater terrors Than this brief message: "Permanent Fatal Errors". No keyboard stroke produces any play; No mouse-click gives some give -- the letters loll Unmoving and unmoved as teens who lay Around with chores to do; the words enthrall With primitive attractiveness, the way An accident slows traffic to a crawl, For software jargon holds no greater terrors Than this brief message: "Permanent Fatal Errors". And as I sit here, staring at the wall While trying to remember how to pray Or who among my friends if I should call Might offer something more than “****in’ A! You’re screwed like Adam was after the Fall” I feel my final nerve begin to fray: The software jargon holds no greater terrors Than this brief message: "Permanent Fatal Errors". Envoi Lew! The portents pile up to appall And hope for help has faded into gray -- This software jargon holds no greater terrors Than this brief message: "Permanent Fatal Errors".
