Every computer eventually reaches a point where repairs aren’t cost effective. There’s no exact number of years that fits every case, but most business PCs last between five and eight years depending on usage and maintenance. Signs that it may be time to replace include frequent crashes, failed hardware, incompatibility with modern software, or the inability to run required security updates.

If you’re spending money on repairs every few months, the long term cost could be higher than purchasing a more modern system. Newer machines are faster, more energy efficient, and safer from cyber threats, so they often save time and money over their lifespan.

Deciding when to replace can be tricky, especially if your PC still technically works. Edmondson’s can assess your hardware, performance, and business needs, and provide an honest recommendation. Whether it’s a targeted upgrade or a full replacement, Edmondson’s helps you make the right choice so your technology stays reliable and productive.
