Should I Buy a New Laptop?

I bought my Gateway laptop in May 2009 which is already 5 years ago.  Things in the computing world change very rapidly.  Would you believe that I am still using the Windows Vista operating system?  I had the option of upgrading to Windows7, but I decided not too.  My current computer does run slowly when I first boot it up, but then comes up to speed.  At times it does freeze up.

Certainly the new computers with Windows 8.1 are faster and have more capabilities.  I often fall into the trap "if it's not broken, don't fix it."  I'd have to incur a cost when purchasing a new computer, and there are so many models on the market, that I just don't now which one to get.
