I buy my phones refurbished and about 1 years old. I buy above minimum specs so that things last longer as I tend to hang on.
I can't bring myself to buy a tablet, so I'm still printing papers and using 3-ring binders for my music. My desktop is due for an upgrade. My laptop is a boat anchor but I won't replace it until it dies. I use an Epson Eco-tank printer which is awesome for ink cost.
Yes, I've been buying above-minimum specs for many years now, specifically to make sure the machine will last me another several years, at least.
