Hello、munejyuka。

The other day、My laptop at home didn't start properly.。

After rebooting it works fine after that。

I think it's been about 4 years since I bought it.。

At that time, I suddenly、

“How long is the lifespan of a computer?”

I thought。

So I was a little curious, so I looked into it.。

The legal useful life of a computer is 4 years.、Or 5 years

Check it out on the internet、The first thing that came out was、The legal useful life stipulated by the National Tax Agency is now available.。

According to it、

5 years if used as a server、4 years otherwise

I wrote。

What is legal useful life?、Roughly speaking、If you use it normally, it will last this long.、If you purchased it from a company, you will be allowed to depreciate it during this period.。

Thinking so、If used normally, it will last about 4 years.。

My computer is also 4 years old.。Maybe it's about time...

I'm a little off topic.、What happens when a company purchases a computer and tries to depreciate it?、It seems that computers are divided by price.、

Computers costing less than 100,000 yen are not considered assets.、Treat it as a consumable item like stationery and copy paper

It was。

Also、10Computers costing between 10,000 yen and less than 200,000 yen、It is depreciated evenly over three years from the year of purchase.、Generally, the depreciation amount is calculated on a monthly basis.。

It varies greatly depending on the specs of your computer.

I'm not familiar with computers。
I just look at the internet and use Excel occasionally.。

So I can't really say anything about this computer.、It simply has good memory etc.、The larger the capacity of your hard disk or SSD, the longer it will run smoothly.、I think it will last a long time。

As long as you don't use it in any way。

So、I don't think it's clear how many years each one will last.。

This is where the National Tax Agency's statutory useful life comes into play.。

If it is shorter than this period

Hmm、Too bad!

Is it like that?。
