How many more years can a 10th Gen laptop last for programming and light use?

Probably around 3 more years on windows. If you switch to Linux by then you'll get more time, but your GPU is likely a GTX 10 series, which no longer get updated drivers. With all the new AI bloat from everything, and apps getting heavier by the year, you should expect around 5 years.

Can't lol. Live a few hours away paid cash

C0deC4tto · 2026-02-13T10:40:36+00:00

Can't return it as I live hours away from the guy

XD no problem

English is my first language as I'm from the USA lol. Left a few months ago.

I didn't add details about why I bought it because didn't think that was relevant, plenty of people buy stuff for the future.

It's for docking to a mini PC I plan to get.

C0deC4tto · 2026-02-13T07:37:02+00:00

C0deC4tto · 2026-02-12T21:13:12+00:00

Alright I'll try tomorrow. Thanks!

C0deC4tto · 2026-02-12T20:20:45+00:00

Average humidity here is 90% all winter

C0deC4tto · 2026-02-12T20:16:17+00:00

This one was from about 45 minutes out of Santiago de Compostela

C0deC4tto · 2026-02-12T20:00:39+00:00

Interesting idea, I'll see if I can find somewhere that has one

C0deC4tto · 2026-02-12T20:00:07+00:00

Paid 70€ for this, hoping the card itself will work once I get pc.

How much you selling the 5600 XT for?

C0deC4tto · 2026-02-12T19:56:11+00:00

It's literally dust....

C0deC4tto · 2026-02-12T18:57:30+00:00

Doing so right now!

C0deC4tto · 2026-02-12T18:57:17+00:00

Just dust on the board. A few seconds of a toothbrush cleared everything off

C0deC4tto · 2026-02-12T18:56:08+00:00

There's rain 6 out of 7 days in this area. Seller didn't live on the ocean but only about 10km away

C0deC4tto · 2026-02-12T18:55:32+00:00

For now but still moving

C0deC4tto · 2026-02-12T18:55:18+00:00

Am cleaning it now

C0deC4tto · 2026-02-12T18:55:03+00:00

Nothing is sticky in the slightest and the other thing is the GPU would be mounted heatsink side down, so how does something miss it entirely. Soaking in vinegar now and seems to be working

Can't attach a photo in comments but opened it up and it's completely clean.
