Does anyone know roughly how many years a lap top would live for if it is used every day for many hours?

The better you look after it, the longer it lasts. If u look after it well, it could go for a long time. Being carless, no antiviruses, playing copy dvd's without scanning them first, throwing it left right & center definetly do not help the life span of them, lol. So giving it a time limit is not very practical.

I don't think you should take him home. You felt pressured into doing something that you didn't want to do, but I'm not surprised with the consequences. They're 14... Of course they're not going to listen and keep the door open. We all would have. Talk to your daughter tomorrow and explain to her why you wanted the door open. Turn it into a sex talk and make sure to include the need for birth control! It's also an opportunity for you and your daughter to be open with each other. Maybe it's time she went on the pill (of course with condoms too). Then, you explain to her that you gave her a chance and she didn't do what she should have done so now he won't be staying the night anymore. Maybe if they're still dating in a few months, you can try again and see if she can follow the rules. Whatever you do, make it obvious to your daughter that she can come to you and ask you about anything. So many parents just tell their kids what they can't do and they're unrealistic. They tell their kids not to have sex, and think that will work. Those are the kids who end up having sex while NOT on birth control, and end up pregnant. I became sexually active with my boyfriend (now husband) when we were 15 but I had a great relationship with my mom and she came with me to get on the birth control pill, and talked to me openly about everything. So I don't you need to be more strict or ease up. I think you need to have some open conversations with your daughter, but make it clear that if you set rules they need to be followed. She didn't follow them so she lost that privilege.

A lot of that depends on the conditions under which the laptop is being used. I use my Sony in highly dirty and moist conditions, for 10-12 hours a night. During the day it's sitting in my taxi cab, which gets very hot during the summer, and very cold during the winter. It gets severely jar and bounced, as I go down the road. It has been working for three years. My previously three only lasted me six months each.

Usually the life span of an average laptop is 5 or 6 years and usually i have never heard anyone of upgrading it. They all buy new ones. Dell and HP are the best.

5 - 8 years depending on the conditions and the way it's looked after, but if it get's too old it will be outdated and uslelss anyway. My laptop is 12 years old and still goes but the batterey is rooted
