I&#x27;ve made repairs and upgrades to a five year old MacBook as well. However, I eventually replaced it primarily for reasons of weight and battery life. I&#x27;ve also repaired an old iPod although I honestly didn&#x27;t have a lot of use for it after I repaired it because I had newer iPhones.<p>Certainly compared to clothing electronics do tend to become obsolete but it obviously depends a lot on the electronics and what they&#x27;re being used for.
