I have a 10-year-old Athlon 64 x2 desktop which doesn't seem obsolete at all. It's about the same speed as the docked Atom tablet from last year I am using right now as my regular workstation. It even runs most modern games pretty well. So I've lost a lot of weight over the years, gained a little speed, and lost a lot of GPU power. With the expansion of cloud computing and the stagnation of desktop software, I will probably be able to use that desktop for another 10 years unless the hardware fails, but it's used rarely enough that I think it will last.
The 4S is another example of an older device that competes really well with modern hardware.
