Most business-class desktop, workstations, and laptops from major manufacturers like HP, IBM, Dell and Apple are designed to provide three to four years of services without trouble. At the same time, application utilization and user productivity will outstrip the processing capacity in about 18 months. With these factors in mind, it is a good business practice to plan for end user computer replacement about every three years. One can also entertain utilizing thin desktops or new zero clients can also be an option when considering a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). This way, desktop PCs will be more likely to work during every planned day of service, and users will be more productive by working with machines that are able to support the desired levels of productivity.
