Replacing a Laptop? Some Things to Consider
In another article found at Computing Unplugged, the question was asked and investigated if whether it is good to replace a perfectly working laptop for something newer.
Laptops fall into this category. Yes, some laptops die an early death. But if you're gentle with your laptop, it's likely to last you far longer than might be practical for the software you might want to run on it or the tasks you want it to perform.

As Christians in tech, many of us go through this questioning everytime a new device is released. While there are times when our job or ministry might merit a looking into a new device.
