1 Fresh eggs will be harder to peel than slightly older eggs, as the air pocket at the wide end of the egg is smaller in fresh eggs. 2  For this reason, you should avoid boiling freshly laid eggs, whenever possible. 3  Go for 3-5 day old eggs instead.

By far, the component that is affected the most is the motherboard because it holds so many components that need to work concurrently in order for the laptop to simply turn on. The most common problem is that the motherboard's capacitors go out first leading to a non-bootable(and thus non-usable laptop). These capacitors have up to 5000 hours of life. A rough estimate for someone who uses laptops as their primary computer (e.g. without a desktop) is 5 hours a day average; this yields 2.7 years.
If even one bulges and fails though that could mean a new board or replacement cap is required to have a functioning system again. I would say I see the average dead or dying laptop at about the 2-4yr mark with more modern laptops, older ones seem to do better in the 4-6yr+ range.
