Is five years enough?

For you maybe.

I think it is nothing like enough. My guitar amplifier is about twenty years old.

My house is thirty and will probably make it to 300 (climate catastrophes wiling)

I do not buy Google products, if I did I would stop.

Well, electric guitars have been around for over 80 years and houses even longer.

This whole wireless internet thing is pretty recent and is getting increasingly better every year.

I have some power tool from the 60, with a deviation of precision about a 1/100mm from manufacturing time, while abused in factory. Heck, I just got a new drill from 1959, with the same. They were also “recent” design at the time…

But if you are living with the current performance just fine, why do you have to seek a faster one.

As long as I can work, play 2 concurrent movies while having videocalls at the same time, I don't see the point upgrading just for the sake of upgrading. Unless the security of my devices is at risk.
