Our first netbooks are coming up on their 3rd year but they are holding up OK so we may get 4 years out of them.  Laptops are on a four year cycle if we can.  Desktops are moving from a 3 year cycle to a 4 to 5 year cycle.  Servers as long as we can get support.  Infrastructure is about 8 years but given its cost and complexity we are dealing with it on a case by case basis.<div>

Hi All -<br>
Do you have Replacement Cycles for computer &amp; network equipment as part of<br>
your procedures?  If so, what are your target life spans for each type of<br>
equipment?<br>
<br>
I&#39;m looking at ...<br>
4 years for laptops &amp; netbooks<br>
6 years for desktops<br>
5 years for servers<br>
8 years for infrastructure (switches/routers/etc.)<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
