Based on Techaisle, Microsoft, J. Gold Associates, Verizon, EIA, and IBM research, here is what your aging fleet is costing you in productivity, security exposure, IT support, and energy, with the math for a refresh side by side.

Where the money goes

Productivity loss
$0
Techaisle / Microsoft "Ageing PC Effect" finds 4+ year PCs cost roughly 70 hours per year per machine. We apply conservative cuts by age bucket.
Windows 10 ESU fees
$0
Microsoft ESU pricing: $61 Year 1, $122 Year 2, $244 Year 3 per device. Cumulative $427 over three years before you must replace anyway.
Repair and IT support
$0
Techaisle finds 4+ year PCs are 2.7x more likely to need repair than newer machines. Costs scale with fleet age.
Energy waste
$0
Legacy Haswell-era towers draw roughly 50W more at idle than modern Core Ultra or Ryzen 8000 systems. Rate by state from EIA Electric Power Monthly, March 2026.

Security exposure

You have 0 PCs at elevated ransomware exposure.
  • Verizon's 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report found 88% of breaches involving small businesses included a ransomware component, more than double the enterprise rate.
  • Microsoft's 2024 Digital Defense Report found over 90% of ransomware attacks that reached the ransom stage came in through unmanaged or unpatched devices.
  • Sophos' 2025 State of Ransomware put average SMB recovery cost (excluding the ransom itself) at $638,536 for 100 to 250 employee businesses. IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach put the average breach at $3.31M for sub-500 employee orgs.

We do not multiply these into a single "expected loss" number because the probabilities have wide error bars. The numbers above are the cited sources, presented honestly.

Forrester's 2024 Total Economic Impact study (commissioned by Intel) measured up to 213% three-year ROI on a modern PC refresh, with a 90% reduction in hardware-related on-site service visits and 65% less time on device management.
