Usually I upgrade to a new computer around 6 years average. However, this Macbook Pro I've had since 2013 and it's still running strong. The only thing I've found myself having to do is deleting apps and files when it comes to upgrading to the latest update but... for the most part it still runs smoothly. If and when I do replace it I imagine it will be for another MacBook.
How often do you replace your computer?

I think I kept my old laptop for around 3-4 years but the specs weren't great so it was a pretty easy decision to get rid of it and upgrade to my current one. I can't see myself upgrading for a long while though so I'll probably stick with this for around 6-8 years
Usually every 4 years or so but honestly I dont feel too arsed about doing a full build for my next one, I'll probably just upgrade the graphics card and call it a day.
4-5 years give or take, but my last one barely lasted two years 
We go as long as we can. Only when it's dying do we replace it. Example: We got our newer one due to our old one revving constantly. Went to the computer shop a couple of times to change a few things but only was a band-aid. For us, it's when it can't be fixed any longer.
To steal a phrase -- I'll ride mine until the wheels fall off! I had my previous computer for only 6 years, but the one before that I had for over a decade. I built the one I'm using now last year, it's nothing amazing, but it works for me and will do for a good while, plus I can add more memory or a better GPU if need be down the road. Whatever I can do to keep it going.
I replace parts bit by bit and finally I see a totally reassembled computer (lol)
