Every couple of years when I wear the old one out. I do not buy due to obsolescence of the old (it would be hard for me to make a computer obsolete) unless it is the planned obsolescence of the OEM.

The last time I purchased a computer was when graduated from high school. I'm a sophomore in college now so that's 2 years or so. I plan to get a Mac before I graduate. I'd say an average or 2-3 years for most people. That's probably average laptop life.

Every 5 years because it has been 5 years since I bought my G5 1.6Ghz and the new Mac Pro's are just too expensive. But they are so cool.

I purchased a 22" iMac during the last tax-free holiday. Before that… It had been a good 5+ years since I had bought a PC. I suspect (and expect) this iMac will last me at least as long.

  I would say if you use it a lot like you obviously do then that isn't a bad thing. If you have the money to do so I'd say go ahead. Right now as a broke kid in college I can't do that. I'm sure you understand that.:|
