I think obsoleting laptops that are 4-5 years old is borderline ok. However with desktops its a different matter since many build them to be upgradeable. 
I typically spend a lot to buy a top of the line desktop just so that I can upgrade it. I expect it to last at least 7-8 years because of this. My 2015 8 core PC is still perfectly capable for what I use it for. The windows user base doesn't quite have the same disposable hardware mentality as the Mac base so its a tough sell from Microsoft.

You think obsoleting laptops that are 4-5 years old is OK? Why?  Lets make all electrical goods obsolete after 5 years, that will go a long way to helping the environment, NOT.
