Businesses tend to stick to a 3-5 year life-cycle. But I've gotten the feeling that even there they are cycling things through a bit more rapidly... It's just that they tend to do it in waves so it's not quite as noticable, or as big an impact to the budgets.

it hasnt changed much but at least theres a possible fear a lease might be held out slightly longer this cycle due to tariffs.

I don't think we're cycling through anywhere near that fast. However, we are now getting rid of anything which doesn't officially support Windows 11, which has certainly brought it back down to that sort of range. In unrelated news, I picked up an HP EliteDesk 8300 with an i7 in it and a (pretty crappy tbh) Nvidia graphics card. Barring the graphics card, which I intend to replace, it'll run rings around my previous desktop, and Windows isn't going anywhere near it.
