FWIW I don't buy a complete computer, I replace parts of my computer.
If I buy a new mobo and a new CPU, I call it a new computer.

Sustainability related to computers might not be worth a statistic.
However, the EU and German government fake a lot to care about
ecological footprints. Banning plastic bags on a continent were
everybody is in favour of a rucksack ("Rucksack" is a German word, older
than the samrt phone ;) gains nothing. Is anybody thinking about a
smart phone's lifespan?
