And from the glowing reviews it’s clear that

  1. W11 doesn’t actually need a new PC to run and the limitations are completely artificial

  2. For many people, a ten years old PC is fast enough (or even faster than a brand new Intel N100 PC that is officially W11 compatible). They won’t even notice that’s something from 2015, as long it has a shiny new case, enough RAM and SSD

  3. Amazon doesn’t care that the PC comes with pirated software, or that someone is scamming their customers, as long they get their 15% cut from marketplace sales (the cost of a genuine license of W11 pro and office exceeds the price of those ewaste specials)

    Banks and corporations change computers every 3-5 years because accounting love to lease rather to buy

    3-5 years is a pretty standard depreciation schedule for IT equipment like computers, peripheral accessories etc.

    Computers and laptops (using Straight-line method): 31.67% with a useful life of 3 years.

    Computers and laptops (using Written Down Value method): 63.16% with a useful life of 3 years

    It really has nothing to do with leasing vs. buying.
