In today’s fast-paced business world, clinging to outdated technology can quietly drain your budget and productivity. While many companies try to squeeze every last year out of their computers, the smarter move is to adopt a structured 4-year hardware refresh cycle. By proactively replacing computers on a schedule, businesses can reduce downtime, lower IT support costs, enhance security, and keep employees operating at peak performance — all while saving money over the long term.
🔁 4-Year Refresh Cycle Overview
Instead of replacing all 30 computers at once, you spread the replacements evenly over 4 years — which means:
Replace 7–8 computers per year
Budget becomes predictable and spread out
No large, one-time expenses or emergency hardware upgrades
💰 Estimated Cost Per Computer
Let’s assume a mid-range business desktop or laptop costs around $1,000 each, including hardware, extended warranty, and basic setup.
You can adjust this for your actual specs, but we’ll use $1,000 as a baseline.
📊 Annual Hardware Budget Breakdown
Year | PC's Replaced | Cost Per Unit | Annual Budget |
|---|---|---|---|
Year 1 | 8 | $1,000 | $8,000 |
Year 2 | 8 | $1,000 | $8,000 |
Year 3 | 7 | $1,000 | $7,000 |
Year 4 | 7 | $1,000 | $7,000 |
