"For most people, replacement would be a better choice then upgrade."
i dont believe so - they are marketed to as being the better choice. However, a small upgrade (e.g., an extra stick of ram, a bigger SSD) is really all a consumer level user would need for a computer to last a bit more than 5 years. Obviously, this path sells less. But then you ahve to ask, why is it that you need to buy a new computer? its such a waste if the current one is only slightly slower, and a small upgrade will make it last another couple of years.
