I've had many computers over the years and none have ever had a cpu die or ram die. Very suspicious.

I'll never buy a laptop ever again. They are underpowered and you can upgrade them. If I go away or travel I'll just bring my cellphone. Laptops are too bulky and can break easily.

I like my desktop I don't see the need to buy a super duper powerful one. For gaming I just buy 10 to 5 year old games. New games are too expensive. I don't want to pay 80 USD for a game.
